<p>I called Brown, and they requested a letter for application withdrawals (even if I haven't actually submitted anything - I just made an account on the website). How do I go about phrasing this request? (And who do I address it to?)</p>
<p>if you havent submitted an actual application, then you dont need to withdraw anything...infact, if you dont even complete your application fully (by not sending in SAT scores/transcripts/everything that is required) then you'll just be put down as an incomplete applicant and they wont even consider you</p>
<p>I called the admissions office, though, and she said that I should send a formal letter anyway. I asked my GC about this, and she suggested that I send at least an email. I do think it's a bit unnecessary, but I suppose it's better to err on the side of caution.</p>
<p>Look, if you think it's unnecessary and you're not planning on going there. Then screw their stupid policy. Where are u going out of curiosity?</p>
<p>Columbia. I just got my decision yesterday. (:</p>
<p>Wow, congratulations, screw the withdrawal process at Brown. Mind posting your stats?</p>
<p>Thank you! My stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 2360 (800M/800CR/760W)
SAT II: 730 Chem, 780 Bio M, 790 USH, 800 MIIC
APs: APUSH - 5, AP Bio - 5
GPA: 5.16W, don't know unweighted
Rank: 2/~260
Courseload: Toughest courseload w/ 3 APs junior year and 5 this year.</p>
<p>EC's: Lit Mag, Multicultural Council, part-time job, volunteering at senior center (nothing truly remarkable or unique compared to some people on here)
Essay: Well-written, I think. Thoughtful and reflective. Topic might not have been very unique, though.
Counselor rec: Awesome. She really believed in me.
Teacher recs: One from a French teacher - I'm sure it was awesome. Another from AP Bio teacher. It was probably more generic, since he didn't know me as well. But I'm sure he said nice things.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Chinese
Gender: Female</p>
<p>Don't think I could've gotten in RD. My school hasn't ever sent anyone to Columbia, so this came as a very, very pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>ANYWAY. About this withdrawal thing. I think I'm going to send it in anyway, just to make sure.</p>
<p>You should do the request...</p>
<p>well i think this should be the least of your problems.. but congratulations!</p>
<p>Mail (not email) the following letter to each school:
