If I get taken off waitlist at other school...

<p>How do I tell Michigan? What's the proper/polite way to withdraw?</p>

<p>id just withdraw. Don't have to be polite about it. its not like telling your grandma you hate her cooking</p>

<p>To Whom It May Concern
Thank you for the acceptance to the University of Michigan, but I have decided to attend _______ instead.</p>

<p>Best regards,
Your Name</p>

<p>I would tell them you got taken off the waitlist elsewhere so they think you didnt double deposit...</p>

<p>but how? Letter? E-mail? Call?</p>

<p>Dude, I don''t think it really matters. What could UM possibly do to you?<br>
Ryan, is double depositing really bad or something? Just interested.</p>

<p>double-depositing is technically a no-no, but U-M, like many colleges, doesn't actually act on it by, say, withdrawing the acceptance.</p>

<p>It would be nice to let U-M know you're canceling your deposit. I don't think it matters what form that takes; you could send a quick letter, or email if you've got an address to send it to. Let them know that you got off the waitlist at the other school; they like to know to what extent waitlist movement affects them.</p>

<p>well some schools explicitly say on their 'conditions of admittance', tht if u double deposit, they ahve a right to rescind ur admission. it IS possible i think, tht if umich finds out that you double deposited, they might tell they school that you currently decided to enroll, and that school MIGHT really rescind you. just a possibility.</p>

<p>i think its just nice to just email them, tell you that you've been taken off the waitlist at another school, and that you will attend there. Not that hard anyways.</p>

<p>I think a quick email to admissions should do the trick...you won't hurt anybody's feelings...</p>

<p>Just make sure to tell them.</p>

<p>I don't think they'll wack you though</p>

<p>But they are looking for Jimmy Hoffa's in Michigan now...</p>
