This discussion is proof that colleges DO NOT CARE whether you officially withdrawn or not.

My son sent an email to admissions to decline the various spots he didn't want. But the experience of others shows that all the colleges care about is receiving the deposit.

That's all, folks. Stop agonizing, fuming and ranting about this. There is no consequence for forgetting to decline a spot. You just attend the school you pick, or the one who accepted your ED application, and you don't pay deposits for the rest. It's more polite to send an email to admissions, but whether you do or not - that's not what colleges care about!

Now give it a rest with the finger-pointing and shaming.

No, there is no proof of that. There is proof of:

People being lazy and not withdrawing (usually under the thinly veiled excuse of knowing nothing about how to do so without a button to click)

Some people let the wrong place know (regional officer)

A handful of schools admitted a kid (but we don’t know how they conveyed their withdrawal)

Many people think it’s nbd but then honoring your word and commitment to do certain things to be nbd to you either

Many think it’s an issue but bc it’s a game your family is playing to see where else you’ll get in, you don’t care

That’s what we’ve learned.
