Hey y'all! If I decide to commit to a college, am I required to withdraw my applications from other schools? Is that something I should do manually or does it happen automatically? Thanks!
Hello! Once you commit to a college, it is generally expected that you withdraw your applications from other schools. This is considered a courtesy to other students who may be on waitlists and helps colleges manage their admissions process more efficiently.
Withdrawing your applications is usually something you need to do manually. Most schools will have a way for you to do this through their admissions portal or by contacting the admissions office directly. You can either send them an email or in some cases, there might be an option within the portal itself to indicate that you're withdrawing your application.
Keep in mind that this process might vary slightly from school to school, so it's always a good idea to check the specific instructions provided by each institution. It's also important to have your commitment finalized before withdrawing your other applications to avoid potential issues if something changes with your commitment. Once you've withdrawn an application, it's typically considered final and cannot be reversed.
Good luck and congrats on your college choice!
