April 30th Deadline Question

Hello,

I had a quick question regarding the procedure for whittling away acceptances by April 30th. I am currently holding on to two acceptances-- do I simply call one institution by April 30th and withdraw? Do I need to inform the other institution that I am "accepting" their offer, or do they just assume if I don't withdraw I intend to matriculate?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Call, email or withdraw via an online portal system -- whatever the particular school uses. You don't need to notify the other school that you confirm your acceptance, assuming you've already paid your deposit to that school.

Thank you! I am faced with a very difficult decision between both schools and don't anticipate on coming to a final decision until the very end. Is it my responsibility to ensure the school sees my withdrawal before April 30th? I ask because if I were to send a letter via email on the 29th they may not see it until a few days after.

Don't sweat it. Nobody is going to call you on May 1st! Just email the school you decline by then.
