<p>hello all.</p>
<p>i was admitted to an ED school, and am thus obligated to rescind the applications i have already submitted. i have a couple of questions:</p>
<p>a. do i still have to rescind aplications that are incomplete (ie: a school has teacher recs but not the actual application?)</p>
<p>b. what should i write in my letter?</p>
<p>eee?</p>
<p>a. Probably not. Just don't send the app.</p>
<p>b. "Dear Sir. I hereby withdraw my application to ______ College. Thank you. Sincerely, Your Name Here."</p>
<p>Write a letter to them that says, "Please withdraw my application." Make sure you give your full name, any student ID # that you've been assigned, and that you also say what you were applying to (i.e. freshman class, school of engineering, etc.).</p>
<p>Give copies to your GC just in case the colleges overlook your withdrawal and accept you anyway, which has happened sometimes.</p>
<p>Make sure that you also send the letters to colleges where you haven't completed your application because last year, some people posted that they were offered admission and merit aid to colleges that they hadn't finished their applications to after getting accepted ED elsewhere.</p>
<p>a. No.
b. Write in big letters "**** YOU" and they'll just reject you. Or send them a nice letter saying "Dear Safety School, Please withdraw my application. Thank you. Insert name". Or something like "Dear safety school my mom made me apply to, Please reject me." LOL</p>
<p>Fax or email a brief withdraw and move on. Keep the transmittal confirm for you counselor.</p>
<p>If I just made an account for the online application but never actually submitted anything, should I even bother informing them? (I know I don't have to do anything about my Common App schools, but I was wondering about Brown. I've filled out Brown Part I, but I haven't actually submitted it yet.) Or would sending them a letter just be plain confusing?</p>
<p>Trust me they won't be confused. They know that you are required to withdraw all applications.</p>
<p>Write - </p>
<p>Dear Safety School,</p>
<pre><code> I regret to inform you that I am fortunate enough not to have to attend your school. As much as you would like me to bring up your admitted freshman stats, you must realize that the college admissions process is very competitive and you have lost.
</code></pre>
<p>Sincerely,
Name.</p>
<p>Hehehe quite the turn on the dinger letter. Nice post.</p>
<p>i like this thread.</p>
<p>mock a college rejection letter, ie:</p>
<p>"I'm sorry to inform you that I cannot accept you as a member of the list of colleges I am applying to. Please know that no matter what happens, everything will end up all right. Best of luck in the college rejection process."</p>
