So I Got Accepted...but i still got questions

<p>One of the best parts of getting in ED, is that your done with college apps months before everyone else, but i hv a couple questions 'bout finishing the process.</p>

<p>I haven't finished most of my apps, but i sent in transcripts/teacher recs for all of them. How do I withdraw an application that I haven't really submitted? (I'm gonna wait till I get the "official" decision in the mail before I withdraw anything).</p>

<p>Do I need to still submit a mid-year report and/or final transcript to Cornell? </p>

<p>Is there anything else I need to do before attending next year?</p>

<p>Would all these question be answered in the letter? Am I wasting time asking you guys when I'll find out in a week or so?</p>

<p>wow i'm totally with you on the 2nd thing you said. everyone's like "ahhhh didn't it feel great to withdraw from your other colleges?" pfff yea right i'm waiting til i have that letter in my hand. haha.</p>

<p>I second your question, haha.</p>

<p>The letter should tell you most of what you need to know, but the general idea is to send in your deposit to Cornell within a week or two of receiving your acceptance letter. </p>

<p>Once the deposit check has cleared, send letters withdrawing your other applications. Technically, you need to send withdrawal letters to schools only if you've already sent them an application fee or a fee waiver. However, it would be a nice gesture to send the letter to any school that's been accumulating stuff in a file for you. (That way they know they can throw it all out.)</p>

<p>The withdrawal letter can be brief. Just something like: "Please withdraw my application for admission to your university. I have been accepted ED at Cornell University, and must withdraw all other applications."</p>

<p>You tell them where your ED acceptance was because a lot of schools keep records on which schools they lose applicants to. Also, if it's a small school or if you've ever met one of their admissions officers, it would be nice to add a sentence of regret at the end (e.g. something about how you would have loved to attend their fine institution had things turned out differently.)</p>

<p>You'll definitely need to send a final transcript to Cornell. If they want a mid-year report, they'll probably tell you in the letter.</p>

<p>Congratulations!!</p>

You can see the stats of lots of applicants here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=274952%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=274952&lt;/a>
I'm on the top of the 6th page (Note: my "stats" were the best things I had going for me; i had no leadership/no school sports/weak essay (i think)/and somewhat weak EC's (except for a strongly visible interest in engineering/math/science)</p>

<p>nameless- the engineering part.. awesome activities.</p>
