UCs won't withdraw my app...

Applying to College
1

<p>So as most of you already probably know, I already got into NYU ED. And I emailed the UC system telling them to withdraw my app. THEY WON'T DO IT!!!! Should I just let them review my application only for them to find out that I'm going to decline it anyway or shall I call them? I mean if they look at it anyway it's not my problem...it's not my money they're wasting...</p>

<p>So they can build a supercomputer that can calculate pi to the 5millionth digit with the press of a button but they can't forward an email to 4 different places???? Internal communication trouble isn't my problem.</p>

<p>Just leave it. They're not going to refund your app fee. Might as well let them earn their money.</p>

<p>what do you mean they won't? </p>

<p>I would send a letter, officially withdrawing and keep a copy...if you are worried you can also fax it...as long as you do your part, if they ignore it or don't have the system to do it, that is not your problem</p>

<p>no you should take care of it, ED asks that you withdraw, and why not do as is request</p>

<p>if you can type something here, you can type a quick note, sign it and mail it</p>

<p>Worth 39cents to not have to worry about it</p>

<p>I heard theres a "master list" of everyone who got accepted at every college ED, and that's passed around to every college to make sure the ED contract hasn't been violated. If this is true i suggest you do everything possible to withdraw your UC app.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that he didn't apply ED to the UCs.</p>

<p>Many schools will not accept a withdrawal by e-mail. Send them a snail mail withdrawal.</p>

<p>Send them a letter, and keep a copy of it. If they do not withdraw your app, call NYU and tell them so they won't rescind. I don't think NYU will ever know you got in unless you try to enroll at one of the UCs anyway.</p>

<p>you have to notify each campus separately. Some campuses will allow you to log in and cancel your app online. Others require signed snail mail. Just send 'em a letter and keep a copy. Invariably, one or two may get lost in processing, but its no big deal as long as you keep your copy. Nevertheless, if your app is really strong, you might still get a letter similar to what my son received last April: "we realize that you have withdrawn your app to our campus, but if you wish to reconsider we're offering a Regents and research stipend.... Dean Muckety Muck"</p>

<p>That's incredibly inefficient...and inconvenient. They can forward my app to each campus I applied to, but they can't forward a simple email?</p>

<p>And getting an account is so incredibly complicated.</p>

<p>Do you have any idea how many e-mails they get? E-mail is used primarily for answering questions. They are set up to handle snail mail for application purposes, but not to handle e-mail. It may be inefficient for you, but it's more efficient (and necessary) for them.</p>
