[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an admissions director.  We understand completely why this kind of thing happens.  For me, a very short note that just says that you are declining, and going to school X instead is best.  It means I can extract the information I need from the note in the least amount of time.  I certainly wouldn't hold this against you, even if you apply later with another child.  However, a long note full of details that I just don't care about, that takes up my time, I would hold against you :)[/quote]

I'm one of the (many) PPs who suggested a short and prompt note, so  I'm in agreement with you, and I know you were trying to be funny, but I really hope you're not an AD at my kids' school -- one that is frequently--and deservedly -- trashed on this board for its thoroughly unpleasant admissions process.  This attitude makes the entire school community (or at least all the adults involved in it) look like a bunch of jerks.  [/quote]
