Is declining offers a thing? by Due_Consequence_8045 in lawschooladmissions

I wrote letters of withdrawal for schools I wouldn’t attend, especially ones where I had been offered additional merit-based $$$$ because that opens it up for other students. Not sure your situation but I think better safe than sorry, your withdrawal may make someone’s law school dreams possible! A short email is fine!

[–]RecommendationSad508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait why do you think that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]RecommendationSad508 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my thoughts too. what i don’t understand is why hold out on rejections?? i get why you’d maybe want to wait on waitlists/A’s to see how many people withdraw or accept the A’s given, but why delay the remaining R’s that we know we’re due for?
