Withdrawing enrollment after accepted by another university next year.

Applying to College
1

<p>Is it possible to withdraw from the university after getting accepted by a better university the following year?</p>

<p>Scenario: 2014 apply to college using predicted A Level grades (kinda bad).
Accepted by College A (tier two). Enroll with 2 year deferment for military service.</p>

<p>2015 apply again using actual A level grades (much better)
Accepted by College B (tier one).</p>

<p>Can i withdraw from A and enroll in B?</p>

<p>Much thanks.</p>

<p>Is it possible? - yes. Would College B frown on it, since you’re actually enrolled at another school and might not be considered a freshman? - Again, possible. </p>

<p>I would definitely check with College B and see how they view something like this - do it anonymously if you have to. You don’t want to get accepted then rescinded for violating some policy or not revealing something on your application. It’s possible they may want you to withdraw from College A first, but checking is the best way.</p>

<p>Yes, its called transferring… but you’d have to apply to college B as a transfer, using your college credentials too. Transfer admissions are usually far more competitive than freshman admissions.</p>

<p>There’s a possibility OP could still get in as a freshman, not as a transfer, since although they’ve enrolled, they’ve not actually attended and have no credits - it’s sort of like they’re in suspended animation. Whether OP is a freshman applicant or a transfer applicant may well vary by school, so OP will need to check on a case-by-case basis.</p>

<p>I don’t think the OP would be a transfer. This is a gap year.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry, i misread the OP and didn’t see the part about deferment.</p>

<p>To be perfectly honest, the best plan would be to wait and apply to A, B, C, etc. in the last year of your required military service. What you are interested will likely change between now and then, and your experiences during your service will make you a very different (and possibly much more interesting) applicant. You also won’t be obliged to request the two year deferment. This year instead of applying to college, start collecting the letters of recommendation that you will need when you do apply, and just keep looking at colleges and universities.</p>
