[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would appreciate any insights others might share on the best approach to declining an acceptance. Clearly, sooner is better given waitlists, etc. In our case, my kid has had lots of contact with 4 schools, especially with coaches, and hasn't had a lot of experience letting people down. We were intending to advise the coach first by phone, then email admissions, then have my kid follow up with a thank you email. Better thoughts/ideas? [/quote] This is very gracious. I might avoid phone calls to the coach because they might try to get you to change your mind, especially if finances are a factor. I think text/email is better. The email to admissions is very gracious and will go a long way if your child decides their initial choice may not be the right fit and wants to transfer. Again, if your family was given aid this would also be appreciated by schools with tighter aid budgets.[/quote]
