What would happen if I don't complete my app?

<p>I was going to apply to Caltech, and even had teacher and counselor recommendation sent. But now I decided that I don't want to apply any more; do I need to inform them? or should I just let the deadline pass? thanks in advance.</p>

<p>i did this with tufts, and i'm wondering the same thing too. if anyone knows that would be great.</p>

<p>i plan on doing to this to a lot of colleges im a lazy bum who does not want to write essays. does anyone know?</p>

<p>No, not really. Essentially nothing will happen and nobody will care... colleges don't review applications until they're complete. You might receive some junk mail, and/or a message from the college indicating that your application file is incomplete -- but probably not even that if you had recs sent, but didn't fill out an actual application.</p>

<p>Colleges hire headhunters especially for this situation</p>

<p>

The kind with the machetes? :D</p>

<p>lawl, i applied to four ivies and stopped halfway. it doesn't matter.</p>
