<p>I accepted the offer of admission to two colleges, and now would like to withdraw my acceptance to one of them. How do I go about doing this?</p>
<p>You accepted two Colleges???!!??! WTH? Why would you even do that in the first place. </p>
<p>Just call the one you don’t want to go to and lie or something. Say you’re going abroad and that they could keep the deposit.</p>
<p>Dont lie. Send them a nice letter and a nice email, saying very sorry, will not be attending. The adcom staff will likely assume you cleared WL somewhere else. DO IT NOW.</p>
<p>Oh wow, I did not know it was bad of me to do that! 
My aunt recommended it because I was unsure of my decision. Who should I e-mail? I am looking to withdraw from OSU.</p>
<p>Quicker is better as it is kinder to the waitlisted students.</p>
<p>Of course the only reason you have two colleges is because you cleared waitlist at your first choice, lifelong goal, dream college where your great great grandfather is buried under the library cornerstone.</p>
<p>Seriously, don’t explain, just politely state you will not be attending.</p>
<p>Your acceptance should have contact information. Look at the admitted students website or something… </p>
<p>Your Statement of Intent to Register is a legal contract. You should have read the fine print. Things might be a little hairy if they get too mad. But I’m sure it’ll be fine for a school like Ohio State.</p>
<p>I mean I do have a reason. I was waiting on financial aid information from the other college, which gave me a week extension, and OSU would not give me an extension - so it was either lose the spot or send the $ to reserve it just in case. ^_^</p>
<p>Its perfectly acceptable, don’t listen to gryffon. Its not in good taste, but allowed. my cousin put down deposits at 5 schools.</p>
<p>Thank you sccrdave05. 
I did not do it to be annoying to them - it was honestly the only choice I felt I had at the time.
I am just not sure who the correct person to contact would be. I have been looking for a suitable e-mail address to e-mail, but am coming up blank. Hm…</p>
<p>Go to the school’s website. Look for “admissions” Put you name and student number if you have one and class of 2013, admitted student, in title. There will be an email address to send inquiries to.</p>
<p>Thank you. I will look for the email address.
My mom also said she could just call. I would prefer e-mailing, though, I think.</p>
<p>I tried to call a school to take my D off of a wl and they told me to email. If it is a big school, call admissions and get name and number of counselor for your area (if you do not remember his/her name). If you are chicken, call back after hours and leave message on VM. Talk slowly, spell your name, leave student or application number and HS. Do it soon. Please. someone wants that spot.</p>
<p>My mom will call tomorrow while I’m at school so we can do it ASAP. Thank you very much for the help! :)</p>
<p>There are rare exceptions, and given the fact that the student was awaiting financial aid info, this may be one, however, in most cases, accepting two schools could cause one to have both acceptances rescinded. So, no one should do this lightly or because they simply can’t make up their mind between 2 good choices.</p>
<p>Ahh, I hope OSU doesn’t mind. :(</p>
<p>It was not the best thing to do, but I doubt a school the size of OSU will spend any time tracking down why you revoked acceptance.</p>
<p>Don’t make commitments you are not ready to keep. it’s a very bad idea, will be taken as insulting, and can result in rescission.</p>
<p>Yeah I thought maybe they would understand… my first choice was ND, but I could not accept without figuring out the financial aid and such first. So if I could not afford ND and whatnot, I needed a backup like OSU that I could afford.</p>
<p>I think this year, with the financial crisis, was very difficult as many schools didn’t give financial awards until after May 1st or after admission was accepted. I wonder if this was a way to reduce the number of students who accepted offers…just a thought or if the schools just did not know the info. I guess they were waiting on state budgets, stimulus money, etc. Ds number 1 school still does not know OOS tuition for this year and we did not get financial aid offer until after May 1. Too risky for us so she accepted #2 school. Turned out to be good choice academically and financially.</p>
