The Official Waitlist/withdraw thread

Hey guys,


We’re all in this together. Waiting sucks. If there is a school where you 100% KNOW for SURE you will not go to based on other acceptances/offers, please do us all a favor and withdraw.

I will start by withdrawing my app from W&L. Goodluck to anyone else on the waitlist over there!

Spread the love.

As someone who is on the W&L waitlist, I thank you sir. They’re my #1 for sure.

2nd the notion. If you know you’re not going to attend a school, please do others a favor and take 10 seconds to shoot those schools you won’t attend an email. We all would really appreciate it.

Also, if those who post on here could state the schools they withdraw from and when they did it, we would all appreciate it.

Thanks

Will be withdrawing from Cali Western and Hoftstra tomorrow.

Withdrew from Wake Forest just a few minutes ago. I’ve already got difficult decisions to make - don’t need to wait on a waitlist. :smiley:

Withdrew from Northwestern, will be withdrawing from UCLA and GW in the next few days.

This is probably a stupid question, but what is the etiquette for a withdrawal? Do you just e-mail the office of admissions and say, “Thank you for your offer of admission, but I will not be attending your school?” Is there anything else you need to say?
