<p>If a school requires a midyear report, do you HAVE to send it? </p>
<p>Because, I’ve already decided what school I’m going to (and sent in my enrollment deposit there), but I still want to see the decisions from the rest of the schools I applied to. So for those schools, do I need to send a mid-year report, or will I get a decision regardless?</p>
<p>Why would it be required if you don’t have to send it?</p>
<p>What part of “required” is confusing you?</p>
<p>Let’s put it this way; it will cost you 39 cents for each of the rest of the decisions, right? Is it worth it to you?</p>
<p>If you have already sent in your deposit for a school why don’t you withdraw your application from other schools. It would save adcom’s time and it’s a spot someone else may have. You don’t need to feel good by getting accepted to schools that you don’t want to go.</p>
<p>Doesn’t your school require you to withdraw your other applications if you are committed to another school? </p>
<p>By holding onto the places, you may be hurting your classmates’ chances, especially if the colleges are highly selective and are not likely to accept more than a few applicants from a single school or locale.</p>
<p>What if he gets a good scholarship or better financial aid at one of the other schools? He can forfeit his deposit and decide not to go to the first school as long as he applied regular decision. He’s not required to go there just because he paid his deposit.</p>
<p>If he is still waiting for financial aid, he could wait until May 1 to send in his deposit. Why take the chance of losing the deposit.</p>

<p>All other apps. should be withdrawn. It is not fair to the college or the other applicants to continue with the processing of your application. In the long run, it costs us all money. As far as financial aid, if that is a consideration then a deposit should not have been sent until all decisions and financial aid packages were received. In my opinion, continuing with the application process is just rude.</p>
<p>Sorry to burst your bubble, but it happens all the time. I agree it’s not fair, but life isn’t fair.</p>
<p>Last year, my niece got a full ride scholarship to a school she applied to after she had sent her enrollment fees to her #1 school (she didn’t take the full ride–BTW it was to CMU).</p>
<p>And I’ve heard about a few rare High Schools (mostly private schools) that require all other apps be withdrawn if a student has sent a deposit in. My D’s school does not have this rule. I don’t know how they would enforce it, though.</p>
<p>Life is not fair, but one can choose to do the right thing. If your niece had withdrawn her applications, maybe the scholarship would have been given to someone else.</p>
<p>The scholarship was given to someone else! She didn’t take the scholarship, but she gave it serious thought! </p>
<p>My point is, it’s ok to see what else is out there…we’re talking about teenagers here. They change their minds all of the time between January and May 1. They may have second thoughts; try to test the waters elsewhere. I’ll be you’ll hear of at least one person who changes their mind, even if they’ve already sent their fees in.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s one thing if the applicant is not sure or is waiting to see what the financial packeage will be (although I’ll submit that the deposit should not be put down months before the deadline, if so). It is quite another thing to rack up acceptances purely for the sake of egotism, particularly when it may hurt others, including the applicant’s own classmates. Perhaps I misread the OP, but I thought that he or she was just trying to see where he or she could get in, with no intention of going anywhere but where his or her deposit is already in.</p>
<p>If you want to see what happens with acceptances then wait until the May 1 deadline to decide and send in the deposit. Colleges have enough applications to process and continuing the process just for the heck of it is wrong and costly. The right thing to do is withdraw all other apps. after accepting an offer. What you decide effects all other applicants for both enrollment and aid.</p>
