<p>In light of some acceptances I have received lately, and my dwindling interest in attending the university, I would like to withdraw my application so that I dont (if accepted) take a hopeful student's spot. How would I go about getting this done? I realize that it is very late in the game and all, but suggestions would be very helpful. Who should I contact? Thanks, I am grateful for any suggestions...</p>
<p>At this point, it is reasonable to assume that decisions have already been made. You can certainly email or write to withdraw your application, but it will probably cross in the mail with their decision. Consider this - if Sewanee does accept you, and you decline, you may free up space on the waitlist.</p>

<p>Norskvkng07, Sewanee's yield is 30%-ish, so trust me, they're expecting most accepted students to decline them anyway. There are about 900 people just like you. 899 just doesn't make a lot of difference. </p>
<p>You might as well wait until the letter comes and send them the little card they enclose same day, if you want to be polite.</p>

<p>But if you really want to do it, mailto: <a href="mailto:admiss@sewanee.edu">admiss@sewanee.edu</a> and ask.</p>

<p>Thank you all very much! I actually have e-mailed them, though I understand that it may have been pretty meaningless since it makes sense that the decisions have most likely all ready been made. Plus, it makes me feel better that I may (again if accepted) free up space for a waitlisted student. And texashoosier, I also understand what you were saying about the yield. Thank you!</p>
<p>Velbekomme, norsk viking. Lev vel da.</p>
<p>wow, i really wasnt expecting Norwegian! Especially from the screen name "texas-hoosier" haha. Well, I actually received an acceptance from Sewanee today, so my e-mail was pretty late. However, I did get a response and so rather than withdrawing my app. i have officially declined the acceptance.</p>

<p>I spent about four months in very northern Norway (Finnmark) years ago. Seriously. Jeg snakker litt norsk...</p>
<p>thats pretty amazing to go so far north, it gets pretty cold up there. I was born in Oslo, and havent gone further north than Trondheim. I've lost a lot of my ability to speak norwegian, since i moved to the US when i was 4, but i can still understand it very well (my mom speaks nothing but norwegian to me at home), so even though you may only speak a little bit, it's still impressive!</p>
