Previous poster, if your student has already been admitted to "his top choice", then he should accept the offer, and pull all three of the remaining outstanding applications from the regular decision pool.  The reason for doing so, as explained to us by our high school, is so as not to continue to compete with those classmates who have applied to said schools.  At this point your son has been admitted to his first choice, and leaving those other applications outstanding, instead of pulling them at this point, would be solely for the purpose of collecting multiple acceptances for the ego.  He can do so, of course, but likely to the detriment of his classmates.  Unless it is a large school like Berkeley or Michigan, where it is literally impossible to pull an application once submitted,  I would have your son pull all of his remaining applications now that he has been admitted to his first choice.   My children were admitted early to one of HPSY, and in each case they pulled all of their remaining applications at that point so as to not continue to compete with their classmates, and possibly take an offer away from one of them for a college they (my children) did not intend to attend over their first choice.[/quote]
