After applying to 18 schools and being overwhelmed with secondaries, I've decided to cut down my list a bit (with my stats I don't need that many). I want to take off three schools that I really would never go to over any of the other schools on my list, but does anyone know if there is a way to withdraw my application from those schools specifically? Or do I just not submit the secondaries?

If you don't submit a secondary you will be passively withdrawn.
 
Just don't complete the secondaries, as others already said. I noticed that for some of the places I applied, they do have a "withdraw application" tab. 18 schools isn't that bad though...

For the schools that have a withdraw application option, should you actively select this? (if you wish to withdraw)

Thanks, I'll check and see if any of them have that option! And I know, I just don't really feel like taking the time (and money) to fill out secondaries for places I realistically won't go to. Maybe I'll change my mind and just submit them last, but we'll see.
