Withdraw applications now or wait for a final decision?

I was accepted to my top choice medical school. There are no other schools left that I have yet to hear from that I would be willing to go to over this one.

Should I withdraw my applications immediately, or just wait until the interview invite is extended, and then decline it? I'm thinking about others here, in terms of whether or not withdrawing now or waiting will make a difference in whether someone else gets an interview. I will take whichever action maximizes the opportunity for a marginal candidate to get some love.

If there's no chance you'd go to the other schools, you should withdraw your applications to avoid wasting adcoms' time. They're busy enough as it is.

Congratulations on your acceptance!

Withdraw. It will make some other applicant's journey a little bit faster.

I withdrew from all schools I wouldn't go to over my current acceptances. No point in wasting their time reviewing me when that could be spent on another hopeful applicant.

Reject them first! (Kindly)

And Congratulations!
