Let me ask you this.. exactly who's feelings are you going to hurt? The teachers you'll never meet? The classmates you'll never meet? The administration department that you've maybe talked to once? Or how about the little old lady in the cafeteria who doesn't even know you exist? None of these people (other than admin) knows you exist, so hurting these people's feelings would be the last thing on my mind. Simply write to the registar's office that you've been accepted to another school, and you regretfully will not be attending theirs. Believe me, I'm sure they get it ALL the time! For every person that gets accepted to their school, there's probably about 100 waiting to get in. So don't fret over it. It happens all the time. Think of it this way.. this is your life, your career, your future. You have to think of yourself in times like this..

Making alibis will certainly not pass. Tell them straight what made you decide to chose the other one. They will not be hurt I believe 'coz you are telling the truth. If you tell lies or make stories just to please them, they will know. Don't underestimate them. Telling them the truth will help them improve their services. You've given them a favor by being true to yourself and to them. They will certainly appreciate it and respect you even more. Good day and God bless you.

I think when you don't show up for their admissions and do not enroll, they'll get the hint. They won't mope about you choosing another school over them, so don't sweat it. If it's a good school, they probably have a long wait list for students who will grab your spot if you refuse it.

You don't have to tell them. If you do, just tell them you are declining their offer of admission. Colleges do not have feelings to hurt.

E-mail or write their admissions office.
