<p>i got accepted to rutgers. b/c of this i want to withdraw apps from a couple of school.</p>
<p>how do i withdraw them? do i have to call them or something?</p>
<p>Call or email them.</p>
<p>What do you get out of withdrawing apps?</p>
<p>Why don’t you just keep them there. The worst thing that could happen is that you get accepted everywhere else and then turn them down. About the same amount of work, and you get self-esteem to boot.</p>
<p>It’s not even like you withdrawing your application will somehow free up spots for other students, either. First, the schools you’re talking about (Rutgers-esque) probably have an immense number of spots in their class and so your withdrawal changes nothing for anyone else. Second, that’s what waitlists are for anyway.</p>
<p>Not to mention they’ve probably already made the decision on your application for you, and by asking them to do something special with it you’re just making them do extra work.</p>

<p>That doesn’t seem probable. It’s only January. By withdrawing his application, he shows respect for the admissions officers. They labor over thousands of applications each year, and I’m sure they’d appreciate it. Withdrawing applications isn’t “something special,” and I’m sure they procedures set in place for it. It’d take a lot less time to delete an application than to read and decide on it.</p>
