<p>I know that if I get into my fist choice school, I will go there. If I were lucky enough to get in, they will release decision in middle of March, should I withdraw all my other applications (most won't come out until last week of March first of April) so that they can potentially accept someone else if I were to get into some of them.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people want to see "how they will do" and keep score, but all I care about is going to the right college and it seems like the right thing to do.</p>
<p>You can withdraw but you should not assume that means they will accept someone else. For those other colleges most of the decisions will have been made before they would receive your withdrawal. All colleges accept far more than what they really want in enrollment. Your withdrawal will really have no impact as you would just be one of many that they expect to not attend even if admitted and they don't refill that position with a new acceptance.</p>
<p>I think that if you are absolutely certain that you are going to attend your first choice college -- including all financial issues being fully taken care of -- then it is extremely considerate of you to notify the college and withdraw your application prior to the admissions decision deadlines for other colleges. There are a finite number of spots that colleges can offer, and by withdrawing your name you do open up a spot for someone else.</p>
<p>That would probably help the college out with keeping track of enrollment, though probably not for allowing one more person to take your spot (as drusba said, decisions have most likely already been made... though it might affect waitlist people? I have no clue about any of this). But I'd advise you to not withdraw your application from your second choice college, just in case.</p>
<p>If you're applying for a lot of financial aid, then you should.
Because the AID you get/will get can be given to someone else.
Otherwise, its of no use, as college's do take in a lot more than they require (as drusba said) so your seat won't be going to anyone who is potentially a reject.</p>
