<p>I'm trying to figure out how we go about not accepting offers. I've looked at the packets they sent and there seems to be only information about accepting the offer. If there is not any info about not accepting; do we need to do anything at this point?</p>
<p>When my older kids were admitted to liberal-arts colleges, there was definitely a card to return. If you didn’t get anything in the acceptance packet, I would call or e-mail the admissions office. You could also ask your child’s guidance/college counselor to help…but I know that not all schools have helpful college counselors! Definitely best to let them know ASAP if you aren’t accepting–that’s how they can proceed to the wait-list. Isn’t it nice to be at this point in the process? :)</p>
<p>One school, I called for my daughter and the other one, I sent an e-mail to the admissions officer who admitted her and who we met at an admitted students reception. It’s really simple. I just told them that my daughter decided not to accept their admissions invitation and that we wanted to let them know as soon as possible so that the people on the wait list could move up. Both schools were very nice and understanding.</p>
<p>thanks for the information</p>
<p>We sent letters to the admissions counselor (snail mail letters). We sent them as soon as we knew that my S would not be attending.</p>
