Withdrawing Applications: Refund?
« on: December 16, 2004, 01:42:45 PM »
I have been accepted to a few of my top choices and am considering withdrawing some applications.  Do schools give a refund of the application fee if a decision has not been made?

I'm 99% sure that the answer to your question is a big fat No.

There may be exceptions, but I think most schools, when outlining their application requirements/instructions, state that the app fee is non-refundable.

If you know where you are going and they haven't cashed them at the other schools.  Stop payment at the bank for a few bucks...Its kind of nasty, but it is your money!

I believe that why they cash your check before even requesting your apps from lsac.

Two of my apps were "complete" at large public schools.  Checks were cashed after...approx 10 days.  I actually had to monitor the checks closely because of an account switch.  HTH
