<p>So, I applied Early Action to MIT and got deferred. However, I want to withdraw my application. How do I go about doing this?</p>
<p>Call them...and say you want to withdraw your app.</p>
<p>Why are you withdrawing? Being deferred doesn't mean you won't get in....</p>
<ol>
<li>Is e-mail okay?</li>
<li>B/c of several reasons.</li>
</ol>
<p>i got deferred too, so to everyone else who was deferred i recommend just giving up and withdrawing your applications ;)</p>
<p>lol I'm not giving up, I actually have a valid reason. But what do you say? How does it work? Has anyone done this before?</p>
<p>ive never (will not attempt either) done it. but i suppose you just email them. i think nowadays, an email can solve almost any problem.</p>
<p>First: To withdraw your application, call the staff. I imagine they will need to verify some information (using e-mail confirmation, social security number, etc.), and then they will terminate your application.</p>
<p>Having said that, I would urge you not to do so. Even if you get in, you can defer admission by a year or (with good reason) two years (so you can join the class of '12, '13, or '14). It really doesn't hurt to have the acceptance.</p>
<p>Best wishes in your coming endeavors, whatever they may be.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks everyone!</p>
<p>lol naugust, quoted for truth...I agree with you :-p</p>
<p>I think she is planning on going to Caltech or something like that since she got in there EA (according to the Caltech Forum)
but... yay!! one less deferred student i have to compete with XP</p>
<p>=P I agree with rainy.</p>
<p>naugust is right, what chance do we have? We should all just withdraw our apps :)</p>
