Are you expected to withdraw from other waitlists if you send someone a letter of intent?

I have one acceptance and multiple waitlists. If I send a letter of intent to one of my waitlisted schools, am I expected to withdraw from my other waitlisted schools? What if I end up getting an acceptance from another waitlisted school before the LOI school ever gets back to me? I could accept it, but should just immediately withdraw from the school I sent the LOI to?

Nope. You don't need to prove your interest in the school further by cutting ties everywhere else.

This school cannot even see that you are on other waitlists. The only information that this school can see at this point is that you have selected PTE for another program (thus, you have at least one acceptance).
