[quote=Anonymous]DC applied ED back in November.  He also submitted RD applications for the rest of his college list at the same time to get it all over with.  Once the ED decision came in, he said he withdrew his other apps on the Common Application system. Then last week, he mentioned off-handedly that he got a pair of likely letters from &lt;10% admit schools and that he needed to email his entire college list to withdraw his applications. DC says he hadn't realized he needed to write the schools separately back in December to withdraw his applications. I was more than a little non-plussed at DC because there are lots of kids at DC's school who would kill for acceptances at these schools that he doesn't want or need and their chances may have been diminished because of him.  He acknowledges the mistake, but says it doesn't matter because everyone's application stands on their own and there are no quotas for how many they admit from any school. Plus, he says there is still plenty of time for them to admit someone else anyways.  I told him to let his school's college counselor know and apologize, but he doesn't want to.

Spouse thinks DC is probably correct and says I am reaching for reasons to be annoyed at DC. I should just let it go, right?
