Letting them down nicely

Applying to College
1

<p>Has anyone else experienced those horrible phone calls from other colleges asking them if you have reached a decision after you already have and then you have to break it to them nicely that you don’t want them?</p>

<p>It’s horrible! I just had some lady from a college call me and I even knew her personally (I had met her at a college presentation) and I frankly didn’t know how to sugarcoat it.</p>

<p>Uhh, what’s the problem with just saying, I’ve decided to go to a different school. People apply to more than one, and can only choose one, colleges know that most of their admitted won’t enroll.</p>

<p>They deny 1000s of kids, and they don’t like doing it but realize they need to. Same thing with you. You may not really want to say no but you know and they know that you have to!</p>
