Withdrawing

[strech]

So my question is this. I have my deposit down at one school and already sent in my acceptance letter. I just go into my top choice school and now I need to withdraw from my previous acceptance.

What is the proper way to do this, a phone call, a letter, or an email?

Usually you make a phone call, and then most schools will ask for it in writing, in which case you just send them an email.

I'm doing via letter...I'm oldschool.

Same situation happened to me. I accepted at one school while I was waitlisted at my first choice. One week later, I got the call from my first choice and had to send word to the other school (I think I actually sent a letter although now a classy withdrawal e-mail is just as good). I ate $1000 for the deposit on the former school, but I ended up saving tens of thousands in the long run.

Congratulations on your first choice and good luck in d-school

I did it by letter, and I made sure to thank them for the opportunity to interview at their school and for the acceptance.
