What are you, nuts? Why wouldn't you remain on the waitlists if you would go to them over your current acceptances.

Too much financial aid stuff..... It's ridic

Whether or not your desire to attend outweighs the hassle of financial aid stuff isn't really something we can answer. I will say that it seems foolish to withdraw from schools for this reason after putting in all the effort to get this far, especially if they're your top choices.

OP I would probably remain on their wait lists... It won't hurt. Also maybe considering telling the rest of the thread what fin aid stuff you are referring to especially since it's good stuff 😀

So I received a merit scholarship for full tuition and fees for 4 years (Morehouse) and a merit scholarship for half tuition and fees for 4 years (Rochester)

P.S. highly considering withdrawing from Wake Forest

The only reason to consider withdrawing from a school is if you know that there is no possible reason you will attend over another acceptance that you already hold. Otherwise, what harm does it do you to remain on the waitlist? They may accept you and give you a full-ride. You never know. Based on the list of schools you have and your interview impressions, did you like U of R better than Wake? Did you like Morehouse better than Wake? If so, withdraw? You still have time, so don't be so hasty. You will spend the next 4 years at the institution of your choice.

The odds of a merit scholarship from the wait list is small. Otherwise, I agree.

I was sad when I saw that you withdrew from Iowa.
