Before withdrawing...

dude, i was you like 3 weeks ago. i wouldn't worry about it too much. i dropped all my acceptances and no worries here.

i would say that a deposit receipt is probably sufficient proof that you accepted their offer of admission. i paid deposits online and received a confirmation e-mail every time.

however, if you really want, you could call the admissions office to make sure your deposit was received.

 

I hear you both on this one. I was holding two acceptances and waiting to hear back from 9 other schools that I interviewed at. My top choice accepted me, so it wasn't a really difficult decision per say. Rather, I was nervous that something would go wrong and I would end up without a seat anywhere. Also, didn't it feel strange withdrawing from schools that you had previously prayed would accept you? I know I felt this way when pulling my application from Tufts!

 

I felt the same just two days ago when I finally made my decision and withdrew from other schools. It was really tough to shake the paranoia feeling and actually hit send. Also I felt really bad turning down one school which had given me a scholarship and is a really awesome place. In the end, there is life after withdrawal and I survived to tell about it.

 

What they said.

It's like pulling of a band-aid - just grit your teeth and hit send! It's scary, but once you've done it you'll feel great.

 

I fired mine off yesterday. Do it. It feels so good to know your destiny!

 

i can understand where you're coming from. after working you a$$ off for so many years, it's a weird feeing to actually turn medical school admission offers down.

 

Also, some schools have been sending me stuff consistently throughout the past few months. If that is happening to you, you can assume that they have your deposit.

 

Hey guys,

Did you withdraw your acceptance by snail mail, e-mail, or a phone call?

 

Via e-mail, and they have always at least responded back letting me know I've been withdrawn.

 

It was hard to let go. But I agree, it feels good to finally focus on the school you'll be attending.

 

I don't know if it's just me, but UCD hasn't sent me anything about a deposit...

 

uh oh

 

you don't have to pay money to hold a spot there, but they should have sent you a worksheet that you send back to them.

 

how did you word your withdrawal letters?
