That’s the major difference. Your current school will not ask. If you find a way to tell them because they “asked” you asked them to ask
What? We informed the schools that we were declining their offer. They send an email thanking us for informing them and asked where we decided to enroll and the reason. You think we should not have informed them that we were declining their offer?
It is obvious that if one doesn’t enroll, they declined it.
The schools could take that same approach and say if you don't hear from us that means you were not accepted. I don't see any downside in communicating your decision to the school.
Pp-that is not any school’s approach and paying for the application process is part of that. You are incorrect.

No, they have a system to tell all who applied and you know that. There is no system in which one has to decline and you know that as well. There is no downside in not communicating that to the school.

Exactly! It's just common decency to respond if they ask; you don't have to go into too much details.

Why wouldn't you? They know your child has declined their school and they're just interested to know.
Pp-why would I or why should I? It is simply not their business.
They got lucky not to have you!
Yeah, because that’s the measure of student being accepted. Okay, you, “lucky one.”

Then they wouldn’t ask specifically where they are attending if they just want it for acceptance numbers.

Np- what a stupid comment. How about school stick to merits of students and not parent’s choice of informing.

Same for the school that doesn’t have you since you base school admissions on whether a parent informs a school or not of reasoning for school selection.
