Hey.
I was recently accepted into Georgetown Law ED. I was just wondering if there is a template, guide, or how-to on how to approach withdrawing from the other law schools I have applied to.
Also, do I have to withdraw all of my other applications by a certain time?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Congrats! If Gtown ED is binding, I would withdraw all of your other applications in support of other applicants.
The general template I used to withdraw was something to the effect of, "Dear X Law School Admissions, Thank you for your acceptance and generous scholarship offer. While I am grateful for your consideration, I would like to withdraw my application at this time. I am exploring other opportunities. Best wishes, Amazing Law Applicant."
I have yet to have John Wick knock on my door at the behest of any of the subject schools. YMMV.
You should be fine to send it to the admissions office generally. They'll know what to do ;-)
Also, I can just send this email to the other law school's admissions office correct? I don't have to send it to any specific person within admissions?
Thank you all for the comments. I truly appreciate it!!
Yes, agreeing with @leahbeuk911 M B that mentioning that you're under ED at another school is a good idea. They will understand and you'll be fine. Great work being accepted, by the way! This is a very selective law school. Celebrate!
Anything that is polite works. I would just write something along the lines of, “Thank you so much for the opportunity, but I have been admitted under a binding contract at another school, so must withdraw from consideration at X school at this time. All the best, chug1234.” Just be polite and professional. And assuming this is a binding ED contract as is standard, I don’t think there’s a hard timeline but I’d make sure to withdraw everywhere within a day or 2. It doesn’t take long and is a requirement so I’d handle it ASAP. If you’re trying to see how other things may play out... I really firmly advise against that.
And congrats on the acceptance! Good luck at Georgetown. :)
