<p>thanks a ton… it was just a bunch of checking boxes right</p>
<p>@findingSerenity</p>
<p>I feel the same way, I still check this occasionally just to see if anyone else has posted.
You’re not weird whatsoever to be sad that this is over, I kinda am too.</p>
<p>I’m definitely not sad that the WAITING is over. I got deferred, and I’m glad I know because now I know I have to do RD apps.
I wish that there were more discussion among deferrees and rejectees.</p>
<p>It’s been a few days since decisions came out and I am still getting over that I got accepted! Oh, and if anyone is curious, I had the “tabs”</p>
<p>@findingSerenity, me too! I don’t think it’s weird, it probably hasn’t sunk in for a lot of people yet (I know it hasn’t for me…). Once it does, we’ll all probably stop checking. </p>
<p>I have no idea whether I had tabs or not, I purposely didn’t check 'cause all the talk about them was stressing me out! haha.</p>
<p>How long did it take you RD applicants to be notified for an alumni interview? I submitted my entire application and supplement on November 27, 2010 and still have heard nothing…</p>
<p>*ED applicants</p>
<p>Will someone please answer my question and tell me what this “tabs” thing is???</p>
<p>@TangentQueen</p>
<p>I don’t remember precisely when I was contacted, but it’s never set in stone whether or not you get contacted. I was contacted a few weeks after submitting my supplement about mid-late October, but everything depends on whether there’s an Alumni interviewer in your area and if there are other applicants near you that get contacted first. It won’t make or break you, whether you get the interview, it’s just a nice addition to your application profile. If you are eligible, the actual interviewer will call/email you within a few weeks, but there is no set timeline for them to contact you.</p>

<p>It was just a big controversy that broke out on this thread a while ago because some posters had a certain tab on their Application Checklist and some didn’t (it was the tab where you could edit your application details, like which college you were applying to.) No one knew if there was any correlation, so there was some hysteria. It seems now that there was no correlation between those who were accepted and those who had or didn’t have the tab.</p>
<p>who knows how to withdraw other applications to schools applied as RD??</p>
<p>To withdraw applications, you just either call or email the admission offices of those colleges and say something along the lines of “To whom it may concern, I would like to thank you for considering me for your institution, but as I was accepted Early Decision to another university, I must ask that you withdraw my application. Thank you for your cooperation.” There’s no exact science to it.
Some colleges have official withdraw forms on their websites, but I wouldn’t worry about that unless you email/call them and they say to fill out a specific form on their website.</p>
<p>I just had to withdraw from 3 other colleges since I got into Duke. One responded the next day saying ‘Congratulations, we wish you the best. You application has been withdrawn’. The other two haven’t responded, so I’m going to have to call them on the next business day that they’re open and make sure they withdraw my application.</p>
<p>Can we just email the admissions offices or should we send the email to our regional admissions officer?</p>
<p>Honestly? I never even knew who my regional admissions officers were for my other 3 colleges, and I was already accepted to two of those three when I emailed them withdrawing.
Unless you know specifically who your regional officer is or can find them super easily, i’m pretty sure that it’s perfectly fine to just email/call the undergrad admissions office and ask then to withdraw your application from their record. I did that for all of mine.
If you email them and they don’t respond in a reasonable time period, just make sure you call and make certain they withdrew it. No one wants that letter in spring/summer asking about your ‘unethical behavior.’ X]</p>
