Early Decision Accepted Applicants Who Withdraw for Non-PharmCAS School

  • 1.  Early Decision Accepted Applicants Who Withdraw for Non-PharmCAS School

    Posted 11-09-2018 03:28 PM

    Hello Colleagues!

    Although we have been an EDP school for the past several years, this is the first time I've actually had this situation occur and am seeking some feedback from this group on how you may have handled this situation in the past or how you currently handle it.

    We had an applicant who designated Early Decision and was interviewed, accepted, and paid their deposit. I just received an email from the applicant withdrawing their acceptance to attend another pharmacy school who is a non-PharmCAS school. I realize that there is not really any recourse for this situation but I was wondering if perhaps anyone has their accepted Early Decision applicants sign any agreements that they are not applying to other non-PharmCAS school (or would that even be legal to do)? 

    Thanks for any insight!
