not accepting place on waitlist

<p>do i have to send an email declining that offer as well? or just for acceptances in regards to admissions?</p>

<p>The only waitlist my D was on asked for positive confirmation that student is still interested. Its not the same as accepting the spot, but they wanted her to weight in.</p>

<p>you don’t have to. I mean for most schools there is a date to which you have to respond to be placed on the waitlist.</p>
