So I am very fortunate that I was accepted to Drexel the other day, but I dont plan on going because I have been accepted to my state school, Oklahoma. One of my good friends was waitlisted at Drexel, and he is a little bummed out from this entire process since he has only had a couple of interviews which have all resulted in waitlists and a few flat out rejections (he has a good gpa and great mcat score). I knew that I would not go to Drexel if I was accepted to OU, even before going to the interview, I just went to the Drexel to visit Philly for the 1st time. I was planning on writing a letter to Drexel saying that I am going to decline the acceptnace, and I was thinkinig about mentioning my friends name in the letter (and just talk about how he would love to attend drexel)? Now do you think that would hurt him, or would you even advise doing such a thing? I dont want to hurt his chances on the waitlist, and I dont want them to think negatively of him or me. At the same time, i feel that it could be beneficial since im speaking so highly of him. I understand maybe his interview didnt go as well as mine, or there are reasons he got put on the waitlist, but I just wish he got the acceptance instead of me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated it.
Thanks.
