Withdrawing Applications... $$$$$$$$$

<p>I applied ED to Brown.</p>

<p>Today, I applied to my University of California schools (deadline Nov 30). The UC app fees totaled up to a whopping $630!</p>

<p>In the unlikely UNLIKELY chance that I actually DON'T get rejected by Brown in mid-December, is there any way I can withdraw my UC apps and get a refund on the fees?</p>

<p>My UC confirmation email said to email the UC admissions if I want to change any schools I'm applying to. They did not include any deadline for changes, so it doesn't sound like they're NOT letting applicants drop schools. </p>

<p>Please answer yes/no. </p>

<p>I sincerely apologize if my question is ridiculous (that's why I'm scared of asking the admissions office directly...)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>It says here in the 2nd sentence that app fees must be paid and are nonrefundable. </p>

<p>You must have applied to all nine campuses. If you have stats competitive for Brown, not sure you needed to do that. Does your school have Naviance? </p>

<p>If you withdraw a couple of applications before Nov. 30, you might get that money back. Do you really need to apply to both Merced and Riverside? But you do get a relative bargain in that you only have to pay for one set of standardized test scores for all nine…</p>
