<p>Being Admitted ED- I understand that it means withdrawal from all other universities, but is there a specific deadline to abide by? Is it even possible to be able to hear from other universities? Or is this all silly rhetoric?</p>
<p>It’s supposed to be asap. I suppose that’s open to interpretation. D withdrew hers last week.</p>
<p>I withdrew my other application yesterday my sending an email to the university’s admissions office. I just requested my application be withdrawn because I had been accepted under ED to Cornell. No fuss, just a quick reply this afternoon.</p>
<p>I don’t think they go hunting you down at other universities to see if you withdrew. Although I heard it can be as serious as a blacklist if you are caught. So its safer to just withdraw. If I’m misintepreting your question and you are thinking of applying RD to some other schools while being accepted ED at Cornell, don’t go that road. You don’t want to.</p>
<p>^Haha thats kinda the gist of it…but rather, its more my parents. They are SOOO FREAKIN’ adamant on getting back another letter from my state university that its almost impossible to reason with them. Hell, I’m all for withdrawing…just as soon as some very stubborn people see some reason.</p>
<p>Re read to them what they signed in your ED agreement with Cornell. You sought (and rec’d) the privilege of special consideration. They did their part. Now you (and your parents) need to do theirs. Tell them to stop the egoist game and that you’re going to fulfill your obligation.</p>
<p>They just want a “trophy”. Tell them they can see the real trophy in 4 years when you frame your Cornell diploma.</p>
<p>Don’t do it (or, rather, don’t let your parents do it to you). Heed the Cornell ED agreement and withdraw your other applications ASAP. What does it matter if you’re accepted to your state university? Barring financial issues, you’re going to Cornell next year. And, as far as I know, you don’t need your parents’ permission to withdraw…just in case you can’t make them see sense.</p>
<p>I withdrew my other applications when I “officially” enrolled in Cornell by paying the deposit. I also would’ve liked to see where else I might have gotten in, but it wasn’t worth the risk of Cornell possibly finding out and sitting me down for a chat.</p>
<p>T26E4 has hit the nail on the head, and your parents are simply and totally in the wrong here. Sorry.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your admission to Cornell!</p>
<p>hey does anyone know how to withdraw from the UC Berkley application? I cant really find what address to email to withdraw</p>
<p>Blackstar, not good form to hijack somebody else’s thread!</p>
<p>Also, it turns out, UC Berkeley has a web site! ([Contact</a> Us | UC Berkeley Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.berkeley.edu/ContactUs]Contact”>Contact Us - Office of Undergraduate Admissions)) And on that web page, it says:
You might have to send them a letter.</p>
<p>thanks i figured it out!</p>
