mlktwins Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The boys are trying to decline 4 acceptances. One had a cardboard mailer "thing" to fill out with their decision and those will be mailed back tomorrow. The other 3, when they go on the website, just talks about next steps, paying the deposit, and so on. How do they notify the school? Just send them an email and ask? For JMU and UMW, there was an accept or decline button. These 3 don't have that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Maybe have them send an email to the admissions counselor saying they don't intend on attending and asking if there is something they should do to formally decline? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 My kid had one school with no obvious place to decline. He e-mailed admissions to tell them he wasn't coming, but he still got e-mails and physical mail all spring/summer urging him to put a housing deposit down. It was annoying. So I'd second e-mailing the admissions officer, and at that point you've done your part! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Sometimes there's a button in the portal. Easy peasy. Sometimes it tells you who to email in the portal. And then there are schools like Indiana. I figure as long as you do your due diligence by trying to let them know, you did your job. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked as well and went through the mailed paperwork. Just going to email these 3 and call it done unless they ask for something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will unsubscribe from them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlktwins Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Well...that is done. Ironically, for one of the schools, they had just sent an email to the boys with boxes to check to see if you were planning to attend, still thinking about it, definitely not coming, etc. That was great! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
