What's the best way to withdraw applications?

Is it necessary to write a letter–maybe even have it notarized before you send it? Also-if you’ve only submitted Part I of an app. do you need to withdraw.

I worry that phone call may not be enough proof that you’ve withdrawn an app… Any thoughts on this?

And one more question–is there an easy way to withdraw apps. for UC’s?

Thanks for any help.

<p>When I withdrew apps, I sent a form letter. It was short and to the point, something like:</p>

<p>To whom it may concern:</p>

<p>I am writing to inform you that I have been accepted by another university under their binding Early Decsion plan. To comply with this plan, I must withdraw all of my pending applications at other universities. Therefore, please remove my application from consideration.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You might also want to request that they send you proof of recieving the letter, or you can get that service through the post office.</p>

<p>Thank you very much jenskate!</p>

<p>what happens if i sent in my teacher and counselor recs, but haven't sent in my app yet? I just decided that i don't really want to go to some of the colleges on my list anymore. what do i do?</p>

<p>Jenskate has got it nailed. In writing, brief, signed, notarization is silly. Do keep a photocopy.</p>
