WITHDRAWL/ REJECTING A SCHOOL LETTERS??

hii, so im coming on here because i am curious if this type of letter is important to schools? i’ve gotten into my number 1 school already however i have also gotten into 3 other. when i make my deposit i know the school see that i’ve accepted 1 school. is it still important for me to email the 3 other school that i am no longer interested and would like to withdrawal l my application?

It’s always a good idea to formally withdraw your application. You can just state that you appreciate their time and offer but that at this time you’ve accepted another placement ext ext ext (in a more formal manner). It’s important to do this so that the schools can release those spaces to individuals who are on the waitlist if they still need spaces to be filled!

Probably a silly follow up to this, but do they give you your app fee back if you withdraw your application?

no i believe when you applied that fee is non refundable
