Does it look bad to withdraw your application from a school?

Or actually 2.

I'm having second thoughts about two schools that I have already applied to. I haven't paid the supplemental fees yet though... but I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and completely apply or if I should save my money and not.

Does it look bad to withdraw? Should I just apply anyways? :/

If you wouldn't actually go to those schools even if you were accepted, I don't see why you should care whether they like you or not. Personally, I'd save the money. (I also decided not to go through with a school after paying for AADSAS)

It really isn't an issue, if you want to withdraw then do it. But you've already paid the application fee, might as well submit the supplemental unless you have 0 interest in attending there.

Right! That's what I was thinking too. But I meant, would withdrawing look bad to the other schools I have applied to?

Could I ask you why you decided not to go through with your school?

I'm not familiar with whether other schools would have the information about you withdrawing available to them. Unless you specifically told the other schools I'm not sure how they would find out.

My rationale was exactly as I stated above: I realized I wouldn't have gone to that school even if it were the only school I had been accepted to. I would probably have waited a year and reapplied.

I've paid the AADSAS application fee but still haven't paid the secondary.

I guess the main question was answered though - "it really isn't an issue." Good to know

Oh wow, I see. I think I got the answers I needed. Thank you both for your help!! 🙂

I'm not 100% on this but I don't think they even see the other schools you've applied to until much later in the game.. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Are we being presumptuous?

Actually, I was worried about this too.

One of the schools is already a reach school anyways..

The only time "one of the schools is already a reach school" is when you have an acceptance in hand.

???

I'm still kind of mulling things over.., but I think if you knew the details, this question would look less silly to you. Either way, it's fine, my question has been answered..

I withdrew from a school cause I realized I'd never go there even with an acceptance. Still got 5 acceptance from other school. I don't think it matters.
