<p>I would suggest you go a step beyond declining the acceptance on the Admissions site. In addition, send an email message to the Director of Admissions thanking him, saying you were honored to get accepted, but for this and that reason have decided to attend X university. In all likelihood, you’ll get a polite thank you for letting them know and wishing you success, and that will make you feel good. Some schools (not UF I suspect) will even tell you they would love to hear from you again if things don’t work out at X university. I suggest EVERY APPLICANT do this for EVERY SCHOOL they are turning down. It’s just common courtesy, and may actually help you if do reapply later. Remember, those folks in admissions spend a lot of time going through applications, and a little courtesy will be appreciated.</p>
<p>Just for the record, I’m not an admissions officer, just a parent of a college student that I gave the same advise to and saw the results of those efforts.</p>
