Can I recommend for my fellow student

[Shift__]

Hi all,

 

I was just admitted to a school that I decided not to go.  Is it proper if I tell the committee I would not go and in the meanwhile recommend for my friend on the waiting list.  Thank you!!

Definitely tell them that you don't plan to enroll. But, it's not really appropriate for you to recommend someone off the waiting list to them.

Yes tell them you're not going. I doubt it matters to them what your thoughts are on the waiting list. Their wait-listed applicants are already ranked in order of preference, with who gets in likely depending on what supervision opens up once you (and any other potentials) release admission spots.

Don't do that.

Going to chime in for no here, as well.  But definitely tell them that you don't want to go anymore.
