Withdrawing respectfully?

I was lucky to have received two acceptances yesterday to schools that I'm really excited about. As a result, I'm hoping to cancel a few interviews that I have scheduled in the coming weeks/months in order to save money and time. Is this common/normal and if so, what is the respectful way to do so? I don't want to burn any bridges especially since I could end up applying to those same places again for residency. Should I email? Call? Upload a letter?

Thanks in advance!

If there's no chance you'd go to the schools, then you should cancel the interviews. To do otherwise would be a waste of your time and money, the schools' and interviewers' time, and a perfectly good interview spot that could go to another applicant.

All you need to do is send a polite, professional e-mail. "Thank you for your gracious offer to interview at your school. However, I've decided to accept an offer of admission from another school and wish to withdraw myself from further consideration." Polite, professional, and to-the-point. No one will be offended by that, and you will have burned no bridges.

It’s a simple email telling them you’ve decided to attend another school. Don’t stress over it.
