Withdrawing Early Decision

Hi
Yes I am trying to withdraw my early decision. I got into a state college at home which is one third of the tuition of the ED school. The acceptance was a surprise. I wonder if I have to tell reason to the ED school why I want to withdraw. I mean I didn’t apply anywhere else for ED. I have no offense to the school. However the state college has better ranking than the ED school and way cheaper tuition. I wonder if I can just tell them “Sorry I don’t wanna go”. I didn’t get ED offer of admission yet.

Penn State does not offer ED.

Penn State doesn’t offer ED. It’s rolling admission.

Perhaps you can contact them and ask that your ED application be converted to RD. That would leave you an option.

Or is Penn State the state school you are referring to and it’s another school that you applying to ED. If you haven’t received your ED decision you can, and should, contact the ED school and asked to have your application moved to the RD round.

I am confused also. Which school is which?
