Letters of intention to matriculate

[the other Dr.]

I am confused about the process for holding more than one acceptance. I already sent a letter of intention to matriculate to one my first acceptance, and now I have another acceptance that I need to respond to. My question is what do I say to this school. Either I can say I intend on matriculating, which would be the second school Ive said this to or I can withdrawl my application. I know we can hold multiple acceptance until May 15 and that schools can see your acceptances to other schools, but should I instead say that I am unsure at this time or do they know that we have to accept offers to other schools as they come in. Any advice would be so helpful!

Just tell them that you are thrilled at their offer, and look forward to matriculating. they fully expect people to hold many acceptances and then make up their minds later when financial aid packages are awarded etc. Unless you know for sure that you do not want to go to a school, don't withdraw the acceptance.

also, schools cannot see what other schools you've been accepted to until may 15, when you have to make a decision.

How would schools know you've applied and were accepted to other schools? What's the point?
