What About Colleges You're NOT Going To?

<p>If there's a college(s) that you're not planning to attend, how would you tell them you're not going to attend? Do you have to send something like a signed letter, or is there an individual online form or something they have to send to you in order to fill out?</p>

<p>Every one of the schools that accepted D had a form or card in the acceptance packet for her to use to say yes or no. They also had a postage paid envelope. Some schools may have on-line forms.</p>

<p>If yours didn't, then e-mail the schools and tell them of your decision. Or you could send snail mail. </p>

<p>Either way, you should let them know.</p>

<p>Only 2 of D's schools had cards she could send back. She mailed short letters this past Monday to all the others saying thank you, but she had chosen to attend another college.</p>

<p>Not only is it nice to thank a school for admitting you, but with so many kids on waiting lists this year, it is the right thing to do.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks guys, just needed a second opinion or two I guess - but who's D lol</p>

<p>D= daughter i believe.</p>

<p>but yeah, I did the same thing- online form, or rejection card, whichever one they provided me.</p>

<p>If one turns down a school and sends the rejection letter, there is no requirement to tell them the actual school that you are choosing to attend, correct?</p>

<p>No, it is not a requirement. Many kids turn down schools before they've even made their final choice (they just know that this particular school is out of the running).</p>
