When can you withdraw an application?

<ol>
<li><p>Can you withdraw after you submit everything and they've started looking at your app? (but before decisions come out)?</p></li>
<li><p>Can you withdraw after being admitted? (or would this count as refusing an offer?)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, but you won’t get your application fee back.</p>

<p>I suppose that would be refusing an offer of admission. But why does the distinction even matter? Does this have to do with your SCEA questions?</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. No it has nothing to do with SCEA, the first one has to do with me, the second one is out of curiosity, as I’m not sure what exactly constitutes “withdrawal”. The school I’m trying to withdraw my app from is rolling decisions, its kind of bad (I only applied to for the heck of it and scholarships?) but in hindsight, I’d honestly never go there, plus I got another scholarship offer. But there was no app fee, so no money lost, THANK GOODNESS :)</p>

<p>In that case, Kathie, I suppose the decent thing to do is to tell this college “Thanks but no thanks” when you have an offer in hand that is solid and that you find clearly preferable to this one. That’s not any different from telling a regular-decision college “No, thank you” on May 1, except for the timing.</p>
