<p>I've already applied to 8 schools. There were 3 more I was going to apply to so I sent my SAT scores out to them when I was applying to the others, but now I'm thinking it would be unnecessary to apply to some of them since it's just extra money and I probably wouldn't go if I got in... I was wondering if I should inform them, and how? Thank you.</p>
<p>You don’t need to do anything. There isn’t anyone wondering where your app is. They’re too busy with apps. They know this happens all the time.</p>
<p>A simple email is easy and courteous.</p>
<p>^ I think it’s easy and annoying (for five seconds) in this case. No person will notice the scores you sent. A computer file arrived with many scores on it; it’s referenced when a corresponding application arrives.</p>
<p>This is a situation where being ‘courteous’ is more of a hassle to the people than anything else. If they don’t receive your application, they’re not going to be sitting there wondering where it is. I’d imagine they have a policy where if an application isn’t received within x number of days after receiving test scores, then the test scores are just disposed of.</p>
<p>Admissions people have enough stuff to read without having to read an unnecessary email about how you won’t be applying.</p>

<p>No, that’s not so. Juniors and Sophomores send scores using their “free sends”. Schools don’t dispose of them just because an app doesn’t come thru within days, weeks, or even months.</p>
<p>Vonlost is right…the scores come in and they’re uploaded. NO ONE is sitting around wondering where the corresponding app is. IF the school were to receive an email stating that an app wouldn’t be submitted, the person reading the email would likely just move on to the next email…and do nothing.</p>
