<p>Is it terribly rude that I forgot to send in decline cards on May 1st? I understand that it's common courtesy, but it completely slipped my mind.</p>
<p>Should I send them out tomorrow? If so, should I send a letter to the schools that didn't send a decline card in the acceptance package?</p>
<p>I'm wondering the same thing. I misplaced mine, but still haven't gotten around to sending them a letter about it. Argh, I feel so rude!</p>
<p>they say it's never too late to send a thank you card, so i suppose the same idea applies.</p>
<p>Absolutely send them it, they are sorting through lots of card and matching with admitted students, and that takes a few days, so send them in so the people can do their jobs and move onto the waitlist</p>
<p>Would an email to admissions work?</p>
<p>The decline cards don't always work. My D sent some of hers back in early April. She's still getting mail and email from some of those asking her why they haven't heard from her.</p>
<p>At this point, most admissions offices would be happy to hear from you ASAP: many are trying to figure out their wait list figures, and an e-mail, followed by the card if you have it, will help them out (not to mention maybe helping another student hear earlier about coming off the wait list).</p>
