I was accepted but unfortunately cannot attend next year. What needs to be done to decline my acceptance?

You big fat packet contained a letter with a check box for declining enrollment. I don't know if there is any way to do it online.

May I ask why you decided to decline CMU and where are you going instead?

I am surprised that CMU has the "decline" online form so open (without a login/password). Some envious person could easily fill in someone's details and decline CMU. Would cause utter confusion in the CMU database.

^^^ That's true. I declined using that online form but all it requires is just the basic information of one person.

They should have sent you a confirmation e-mail, asking you if you do indeed want to remain on the list. I got mine today, and decided to turn it down. They give you directions on how to do it

When I click that link posted above, it just takes me to a page that says "Fall 2008 Enrollment Reply Form

Thanks for a great admission season! Good luck to all in your future educational endeavors. The Carnegie Mellon Office of Admission." but there's no option to actually fill anything out. How do I decline my offer? Any help would be appreciated...

If you are particular to let them know that you are declining, all schools send a "withdraw" card or their accept card has a checkbox to mark you are declining. You can postal mail that in if you are particular.

It is not necessary to mail that in. I am not sure if it will help them update their database to process their waitlists earlier. Otherwise they would be waiting for another 2 weeks to porcess waitlists (in case you mailed your acceptance on May 1)
