Stinkweed Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I have a quick question to whoever has gone through the college application and acceptance process: I sent my acceptance decision to a University already, but I didn't really do it willingly... I kinda regret it now, but dunno if I am going to change my mind: Would it be too late to change my mind now? Link to comment
LostInMyThoughts Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 It's okay to change your mind, and it's not too late. It can be a slippery slope, but I think it's okay. Congrats by the way. Link to comment

You should call ASAP, and ask for the director of admissions. This will allow them to put a stop to your paperwork. Then just be sure to follow that up with a written letter. Also when you sent your decision, did you also send it with an enrollment deposit? If so, you'll likely lose the deposit. BellaDonna Link to comment
Stinkweed Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 it was a 300$ deposit... OMG, I am screwed... There's no way my parents would accept this... It feels like I jumped off a plane, and I know my parachutes really really crappy and I don't think it's gonna open, but I still had to jump because if not I'd be a coward... They say that they wouldn't have cared and that they still would've loved me if I had chosen otherwise, but I just know it's not that way from the tone of their voice and the look in their eye when I said what I really wanted. I dunno, but if I am going splat from the fall off that plane, might as well get a heart attack on my way down... Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Were you able to call the school and let them know your decision? Maybe they can give your deposit back. They could have a different policy than the college I used to work for. Choosing which college to attend is an important decison. You can do what you feel is right now (even if it means losing the $300) or you can go somewhere you don't like- be miserable- and then have to transfer out later (which means more application fees $$$) or, worse, drop your classes which makes you lose even more money. If you really feel like you made the wrong decison- you still have time to "fix" it. You can make it up to your parents by working a little extra over the summer and paying their $300 back. But first call the school and see if they'll return it though (you never know). BellaDonna Link to comment
Stinkweed Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 They don't care about the 300$. They care about the fact that they really wanted me to go there, and I just for making them happy complied... I just couldn't bring myself to making my own choice... I saw how they reacted when I said which college I really wanted, and I just saw they didn't mean what they said... That plus the thoughts of "what if I regret it later?" constantly haunting me... Yet, now I wonder "what if I regret my new choice later?" instead... Link to comment
