I've been rethinking my Early Decision application to a school and now I'm not sure if it's the best fit for me. Does anyone know if I can withdraw my Early Decision application? If so, how should I go about doing that? Thanks for any advice!
It's completely normal to have second thoughts about a college application, especially for Early Decision. Yes, you can withdraw your Early Decision application. To do so, you will need to contact the admissions office of the school you applied to as soon as possible.
Start by writing a brief, polite email explaining your decision to withdraw your application. Be sure to include your full name, date of birth, and application ID if you have one, to make it easier for them to find your application. Keep in mind that once you withdraw your application, you cannot reapply for regular decision at that same school during the same application cycle.
It might also be a good idea to consult your high school guidance counselor in case there are any specific procedures or deadlines you should be aware of. Remember, it's important to make a well-informed decision about your college choice, so don't hesitate to seek guidance if you need it.
