<p>Now that we know where T wants to go, how does she notify colleges that she doesn't want to attend there? Is e-mail okay?</p>
<p>Check the packet and see if there is a post card to send in. If not, it should be done in writing, with a nice thank your for their consideration.</p>
<p>We are going to do written thank-you, patterened after a typical letter of rejection.
We'll mention the criteria he considered, thank them for interest, but tell them he has decided to attend elsewhere.</p>
<p>My d knows which schools she is not going to but not where she is going. She would like to tell them now but they ask you to write where you are attending. I have told her to wait but she wants to open the spots up for waitlist students?</p>
<p>arizonamom, most schools won't even start going to their waitlists until after May 1 when they know how many slots they have available, so there's no need to rush-send the declining postcard. I've just had the same conversation with my S, such thoughtful and blessed students we've raised, eh? :)</p>
