withdrawing an acceptance for another offer

[jenen]

Earlier in May i got accepted to a great program and accepted a few weeks later. Recently i got accepted off a waitlist to my top choice . how is the best way to go about withdrawing from the first school? should i let them know i accepted a different offer? a lot of my reasons are financial and personal (i'd be closer to home + living at home) + my top choice aligns better with my career goals. how can i go about writing an email asking baout how to withdraw and not burn any bridges.

In my experience most schools understand if you change your mind. Just send a letter saying you will not be able to attend due to various reasons.
