Ethically? Yes, because you said you would do something and aren't going to do it. Real world consequences? Just losing the deposit probablyquaker10 wrote:Other than losing money?

Ya I for sure will lose the deposit. I'm more worried about something along the lines of UVA writing a new school and telling them not to take me or something.
Plus, I honestly don't want them to feel like I'm screwing them over. At the time I said it though, I had no options that I would have attended over UVA.

I would assume that once Texas gets their deposit check they could care less what you said to UVA.

You're not the first one to get off a WL, so I'm sure they've seen this in the past and a brief explanation along these lines would probably be appreciated.score12905 wrote:maybe a call as opposed to an email might be safer-- just something thanking them and also saying your circumstances have changed. personally, i think it offers a nice touch on something they probably won't care/do anything about but they def could if they are sufficiently mad.unlicensedpotato wrote:Ya I for sure will lose the deposit.

Looks like we're gonna need to resort to some rock paper scissors to figure out who gets this seat.

Why thank you. I do have particularly meaty thumbs, though. I think I could hold my own.score12905 wrote:I'm a big believer in deontological ethics. using finders keepers, i think it should go to atj.springbreak98 wrote:Looks like we're gonna need to resort to some rock paper scissors to figure out who gets this seat.
but thumb war would be a fair alternative.

This may be true, but you should always ask anyway. I withdrew yesterday and I hope one of you gets my merit aid.whatismylife wrote: Btw to everyone else who's WLed: merit-based aid is all gone so we're looking at sticker if accepted this year
And if you do get my spot, PM me so we can discuss you subletting the apartment in Ivy that I already signed a lease for!

Re: UVA c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle)
I was Wl'ed at UVA but just withdrew to attend WashU and yes I have a basically full ride to WashU. UVA was my top choice, but they didn't accept me or offer me any money. I was accepted off their WL last time I applied but my priorities were different then. It basically came down to eitherLiquox wrote:you chose washu over uva? did they give u a full ride?roaringeagle wrote:One more spot open. I'm going to WashU!
1. Me going to Charlottesville and saying I will attend if accepted
2. Me going to law school for free practically
I chose #2.
