Withdraw applications after submitting?

So I recently committed to one college and I'm super excited, but I need to withdraw my applications from the other schools I applied to. What's the proper method to withdraw these applications? Is it okay to email their admissions offices?

Congratulations on your college commitment! Yes, it's both considerate and proper to withdraw your applications from other schools once you've committed to a specific college.

To do this, you can send an email to the admissions offices of the colleges you wish to withdraw from. Keep the email concise, courteous, and professional. Here's a template you can follow:

Subject: Application withdrawal - [Your Full Name]

Dear Admissions Office,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is [Your Full Name], and I submitted an application for admission to the [Term, e.g., Fall 2023] term. My application ID is [Your Application ID, if available].

I am writing to inform you that I have committed to another college and kindly request the withdrawal of my application from [College Name]. I am truly grateful for the time and consideration your office has given to my application, and I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for your efforts.

If there's any further information or additional steps required for this withdrawal process, please let me know.

Thank you once again, and I wish your institution continued success.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]

[Your Email Address]

[Your Phone Number, if desired]

You can tailor this template for each college you're withdrawing from. The admissions offices will appreciate your timely communication, as it will allow them to spend their time and energy on applicants who still might enroll. Congratulations again on your college commitment!
