what is the protocol for withdrawing apps? when is it appropriate to do so and how do you do it? via amcas or send a letter?

A brief email to the admissions office should be sent as soon as you are sure you no longer want to pursue your application to that school.

Yeah, an email will do fine.

Is there a point? I mean, they'll contact you and you don't respond. They'll assume you're no longer interested.

I mean, it's nice of you to do so so it doesn't waste anyone's time.

😕

you didn't apply yet. the chance is, its nice of you to withdraw to 1. immediately open up interview/admission spots 2. help the committee move along 3. and avoid getting an unnecessary rejection letter in the future
