Offers turned down?

[3Ms]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

This may be premature, but is there anyone out there who has decided to turn down and offer of admittance due to multiple acceptances? If so, shall a list be started?

 

[HopefulAg]

I was thinking about this a couple nights ago, but didn't know if it was precedented.


I'd be in support of it, but have nothing to contribute. I am very curious about Ohio admittees though...

I am very curious about Ohio admittees though...

Hmm, I wonder why? 😛

I don't have anything to contribute either, but would be interested in seeing a list.

 

[turnbackhelly]

I can contribute...

Michigan State: turnbackhelly (offered 1/30, declined 2/1, OOS)

...and there will be more where that came from in the near future (including the OSU, HopefulAg!)

Holy cow, Crazy Hippos! You've been tearing up the place with those acceptances - major congrats! Can't say that your NCSU decline isn't getting me slightly interested... 😉

Haha, thanks. I'll tell you what. I'll give you my NCSU seat if you get me off the Penn "Hold" list! 😛

Deal!!! *cyber handshake* Couldn't be too hard to convince them to swap us. 😉

*shake* That would be totally awesome and incredibly unfair! 😀

 

[NittanyKitty]

*shake* That would be totally awesome and incredibly unfair! 😀

Nah, only unfair to the folks out there without freaking sweet SDN connections!

 

[drkitty2010]

I don't have any to post yet... I should hear from my schools in the next week or so. I will be more than happy to participate in the list when I hear, though!!

[absvet]

Can't officially contribute yet, but 99% sure I'll be turning down OOS spots at Penn and Tufts in the near future - hope I can help someone out!

Hi guys!
How do you go about declining an offer and how do you withdraw your application? Will a call suffice? 😕
I need to decline cornell's offer and withdraw my tufts application...

 

[GellaBella]

Hi guys!

Ooooh where have you decided on?!

I believe a phone call or email are sufficient.

 

[turnbackhelly]

Hi guys!

I need to decline cornell's offer and withdraw my tufts application...

I declined an interview at Minnesota, withdrew my app from Guelph, and declined an offer from Michigan all through e-mail - all were fine. I would have declined my OSU offer with an e-mail as well had they not provided a reply form with a "decline" option, so I just mailed that back instead.

 

[nude mouse]

thanks guys, I'll just call tomorrow. I decided on Penn! Wooo

 

[Ben and Me]

thanks guys, I'll just call tomorrow. I decided on Penn! Wooo

Yay! Congrats on your decision! 👍

 

[BlacKAT33]

I emailed and also mailed in the sheet that came with the acceptance letter indicating that I would not be accepting the seat. 🙂

 

[GellaBella]

thanks guys, I'll just call tomorrow. I decided on Penn! Wooo

Woo Hoo..looks like you and I will most likely be classmates!

 

[nude mouse]

Yay! Congrats on your decision! 👍

Thanks! I'm so excited!

That's awesome, Gella Bella! Are you going to wait to hear from tufts before you make your decision?

BlacKAT, I wish you would hear from them already haha... everytime I see your name on the acceptances thread I get really excited for you!

[crittergal]

In light of the rash of acceptances, anyone else either withdrawing an application or an acceptance anywhere?

 

[NittanyKitty]

Nothing for sure yet on my end, but I might be sending in a Penn IS decline soon. Will keep you posted!

 

[firelily]

I'm not sure when I declined at OSU, but I sent the form in a while ago. I liked it when I went for an interview, but I decided to go to my IS, I think. I also loved Kansas (I got more of a warm & fuzzy feeling there than at OSU even!) but I'll be declining soon. I never thought I'd be having a hard choice about where to go to vet school...I thought I'd be lucky to get into even one place!

Are we counting interviews declined? I thought this thread was more for those on waitlists to get an idea of how much they might expect those lists to move (although SDN is a small selective sample of all applicants...). Just wanted to be clear since I'm not sure... 😳

That's how I understood it, but it's not like I'm an authority on the matter or anything...I think it's whatever we want to make it.

That was my impression...

Yes! Congrats to all those lucky enough to have multiple acceptances and actually turn down a school. Let's keep that trend going for K-State! 😀

Agreed!

Also, why aren't more people turning down Iowa and Mississippi??? Come on, folks, give me some hope here!

 

[luplodw]

Yeah people! Mississippi sucks! Trust me you don't want to go there 😉

 

[variegata]

Agreed!

The way things will probably lean, I'll probably have to turn down Iowa. I loved the school, but it's so so much more expensive than Wisconsin. :\

Go for it... I'm looking forward to being in debt until the day I die 👍

I'm trying to reserve judgment until I actually visit Wisconsin (so frustrating that I have to wait a month!). Can't make a move until then. I'm hoping it doesn't come down to school I like better vs. much cheaper school.

"School was so great, Location was not "


Am I total wierdo for WANTING to go to school in the middle no where?

I thought Manhattan was a nice town--definitely bigger than the town I'm now. I have to drive 25 minutes to get a town close that size!

 

[Crazy Hippos]

Am I total wierdo for WANTING to go to school in the middle no where?

Yup.

😛

I think it would be easier to stay focused when you don't have the distractions/temptations of the city!
