Withdrawing Applications

<p>After getting accepted ED, they say you have to withdraw your applications... Is there some deadline by which you have to have them all withdrawn? Would Penn even know if you didn't withdraw them? Any info on this would be great. Thanks.</p>

<p>they will know if your counselor tells them. i guess before feb is a good rule to go by. i to am not quite certain as im still letting it sink in from yesturday.</p>

<p>yeah I have the same question too..Should I withdraw like right now or can I wait at least until I get the admission letter by mail? I am still like dreaming..can't believe it's true lol!</p>

<p>I've heard cases in which students have gotten in to one Ivy ED, did not withdraw apps from other Ivys and therefore were rejected from both the ED and RD school.</p>

<p>i was accepted to Michigan, waiting for MIT decision, submitted Harvard App, and counselor sent her stuff to a lot of schools
what should I do for each one?</p>

<p>talk to your counselor</p>

<p>How do I withdraw apps..</p>

<p>^you can usually do it on the specific school's website. I only have to withdraw Rutgers. I think I win for least college app work done! haha</p>

<li><p>Yes, wait until you get the official packet in the mail.</p></li>
<li><p>But then withdraw your other applications -- by snail mail, e-mail, website, whatever. Don't screw around. Every year, two or three people want to keep some other application alive, to see whether they get into Harvard, or win some scholarship competition somewhere. It's a huge risk to take with your future, since you could lose out on both colleges because of it.</p></li>

<p>Millhouse...
you did EA MIT and ED Penn?
How is that allowed.</p>

<p>EA at MIT is not restrictive (Stanford and Yale have SCEA which is restrictive)</p>

<p>nj<em>azn</em>premed, Penn was the only school I applied to. Didn't do any other essays, didn't do any other common application parts, no other supplements, and didn't even send SAT scores anywhere but Penn. I think I'm the candidate :D</p>

<p>What if we received an acceptance at another school? Do we call them and say "Thanks but I'm going to Penn?" Haha not like that but you get the idea.</p>

<p>shall we withdraw applications by emailing the addmission officer?</p>

<p>I was also wondering about this. What is the best way to contact the admissions office about withdrawing our applications? Probably by phone, huh?</p>

<p>Millhouse: for some reason, I think that is still not allowed..
I thought ED automatically precludes any other type of Early program, even those non single choice early schools such as MIT and Caltech...</p>

<p>nope i know a bunch of people who did that lol</p>

<p>I just emailed the admissions for each school...I don't know if that works. I'm too lazy to do anything...</p>

<p>Oh yeah what about the schools we already got accepted? Just leave it? </p>

<p>Or about the schools that we sent in parts of the apps, but not complete. Can we just leave those too?</p>

<p>penn website...
"As noted above, a student may apply Early Decision to only one institution. Accordingly, if an applicant for Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania also applies for Early Decision to another school, the Early Decision application to the University of Pennsylvania will be withdrawn. Further, if any Regular Decision applicant to the University of Pennsylvania is accepted Early Decision under a College Board approved Early Decision plan by any other school, the application to the University of Pennsylvania will be withdrawn. "</p>

<p>nothing about EA (and i called both schools)</p>

<p>I went Early Action to Notre Dame, and that's non-binding and not single choice, so it didn't conflict with UPenn. I don't think there's a problem with EA, like Millhouse said.</p>
