Difficult to write withdrawal letters.

[Supadupafly]

I am trying to write withdrawal letters, but it's more difficult than I'd thought. I get a bit nervous. Just a couple months ago, I didn't know if I'd be getting in anywhere.

Anybody else experience this?

They don't care what you write. Just be polite, and concise.


"I was impressed with the school, but unfortuately, I will not be able to attend, etc etc."

You can send them e-mail, too. Just give like 2 sentances. I'm sure they don't mind.

Dear Potential Medical School,

It is with deep regret that I write this letter. After careful consideration, I will not be able to attend your school. There are just too many qualified medical schools this season. Please don't be discouraged by this, I believe that another medical student will fill my vacant spot. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Dean of Me

P.S. I am also offering post rejection counseling to all rejected schools. This is done so that you may no where your weaknesses are.

Dear XYZ University,

I am writing to inform you of my intent to withdrawl my application from your school. I do so only to save myself the sadness that would accompany your eventual rejection letter. This way, you can save your stamp for another poor rejected soul.

thankyou

Here's what I sent out:



Dear Office of Admissions:

I am writing to withdraw my application to your 2004 entering class. I was very impressed with your program and your students; however, I have chosen to attend a school that fits my educational and personal goals more closely.

Thank you for the consideration you put into evaluating my application.

Best regards,
Laurie B

Another thing I learned is to withdraw by emails.

I wrote a withdrawal letter for this school who offered me interview like almost 2 months ago. Then someone from the school called yesterday early morning (It's an East Coast school) to ask me why I haven't responded to the interview offer.

Either the letter got lost or the admission office is just unorganized. Either way, they said an email withdrawal will be better.

 

[Please!]

It's best to call and ask the school. Some prefer an actual letter because they want your signature
