Notifying colleges you will not attend

<p>Roxxy,
I have seen other reports of schools keeping scholarships open for students. My advice: don't burn bridges. You never know if circumstances will change and you find yourself wanting/needing to transfer.</p>

<p>My daughter just received a thank you letter from a college that she turned down. She did send them a nice email, not a letter.
They also left the door open , but no mention of her scholarships.
I agree with the notion of not burning bridges.</p>

<p>I'm not sending any. I mean a lot of them made me wait and stressed me out, I'll let them squirm too. Well I might send to a few, but at least one school is not getting anything.</p>

<p>please say no early to the colleges you dont wish to attend..
waitlisted people like me would realllllllllly appreciate it!</p>

<p>It's good to know that sometimes doors are left open as the college my daughter has chosen is private and our savings will no way cover the costs. We are determined to make this work out but if it doesn't....well it's nice to have options. I'll hope the two she's declining are the "door open" kind too!</p>

<p>NYU needs to send me a decline card so someone on the waitlist who wants to go can go!! All theyve sent is an invitation so far. Should I just send a letter?</p>

<p>I'm annoyed with this, personally. The only school of the three that I applied to that sent a reject card was the one I want to go to. <em>headdesk</em></p>

<p>I sent Binghamton a rather succinct but polite email. However, I'm still getting stuff in the mail from them, and if it doesn't stop by Saturday I'll email to make sure it went through and I was taken off the list.</p>

<p>I'll probably notify my other school shortly once I'm sure I have everything worked out with my deposit.</p>

<p>A nice polite email is also acceptable, I am told.</p>
