you did not say anything about the delaying of the time period of the confirmation.



Oops. That’s probably because I know nothing about it. But I’ll take a guess.

Suffice to say, if you asked for an extension, they will need to know why. “Because I’m waiting for a better offer” is the only honest answer. That will reveal that you never canceled all apps after ED acceptance. They would probably revoke your acceptance.

If you lie about needing an extension, then you’ve jerked them around twice: not withdrawing other apps, and a dishonest extension request. Nice.

The answer is easy: You were accepted ED (and get free tuition, too!) Keep your word. You said you would enroll. So, go!

Withdraw your other apps immediately.
