Is withdrawing a couple of choices bad???

So thanks god I've got an offer from one of the unis I most wanted to go to, so I want to withdraw my last two choices that I've heard from, but still haven't updated on ucas, and I want to straight away put the uni I want as a firm offer before waiting till the update on ucas, so I was thinking to withdraw from them. BUT if I withdraw fro them will that look bad in front of the unis I applied to? especially if I were to apply to them later on for further degrees etc.. will they remember that I withdrew my choice from them? Please help.
Many many many thanks to those who answer and help.

Universities cannot see what other Universities you have applied for, or what other courses you have applied for, so they wouldn't have any idea if you had withdrawn your other applications.

It will also not make any difference to any future applications to the Universities you are withdrawing from. They are professional institutions and don't hold grudges against applicants. I know a lot of people who have either withdrawn their Undergraduate application from a University, or rejected their offer, before going on to later do their Masters at that same University.

Thank you so much for your answer, this is exactly what I was looking for! I guess I'm a bit paranoid. Thank you so much again

Please don't rush to firm your offers. There is NO advantage to doing this early (and a lot of disadvantages because you cannot change your mind easily) and it can cause confusion with universities because it simply isn't expected for applicants to pick their firm until March/April or later - only 3% of applicants have firms their offers so far and it stays this low for months yet.

Be patient and forget about UCAS for a few months and come back and make your choices official on Track after Easter.

Yes they can

As soon as you choose firm/insurance invisibility of choices is switched off and universities can see where else you applied, what course you applied for, if you recieved an offer (and the conditions) and if you accepted/withdrew/insured/firmed that offer.

Oh, but sussex an brighton work pretty close together, if i go to sussex, then apply to brighton sussex medical school afterwards, would they consider me as a lesser applicant for withdrawing Brighton's course eventhough i went to sussex?

I wouldn't worry too much about it for now, I would focus on getting the grades you need to meet the firm offer . Depending on the university, it is highly unlikely you will actually get any benefit from firming your choice early, and there is no harm in waiting for your other choices to come through. If (obviously worst case scenario) you end up in clearing then at least those unis will know you got a place there when you phone and they will definitely treat you more favourably than if you simply withdraw, which may indicate to them that they were very low down on your list of choices. I got my dream uni offer as one of my first, but as I said there is not really any advantage that I can think of to firming it before you have received all your offers. Also, the other offers could serve as useful insurance choices depending on what grades they offer.

Regarding applying in the future, rejecting or withdrawing from them is not obviously going to make them love love you, but I would personally say withdrawing is worst - rejecting may mean you favoured somewhere else, but withdrawing may show them you didn't even care enough to wait or regretted applying there, especially if you went to another uni that year.

I know it must be exciting to have your favourite one, but my advice would be to check if your uni offers any advantage to firming early (e.g. applying for accommodation, I know mine didn't even look at them until June so it didn't make a difference at all, but some may be different). Unless you can find anything, I would wait

They won't give a **** about you withdrawing. But it is a silly thing to do when the deadline for picking a firm is 4 months away.

I've chosen my firm and insurance. The only thing I'd say different to your reply is that if you know where you want to go and have an offer for it then go ahead. I knew I wanted my firm since I was in year 10 XD

So there's no issue or looking bad in front of that uni if i withdraw then? Yes i agree, but since i don't want to do that couse in Nottingham and not much point to wait for brighton for biomedical scince, if I've already got an offer for the same couse but slightly better circumstances being unconditional in sussex, so i wont need an insurance, so is there any reason i should wait?
Sorry for the annoying qs, you are being really helpful

You should wait because a lot can change in 4 months. If you're still sure after Easter then you can firm knowing you considered your options.

We have dozens of applicants on TSR every year who firm early and then their circumstances change (family, finance, studies, interests, ambitions). Please PLEASE don't firm early and risk being one of those people. Chances are nothing will change and you firm in 3/4 months. But noone can accurately forecast the future so firming early to lose any flexibility is incredibly foolish.

Ah happy for you! do you think withdrawing from a uni, will hurt my chances in getting into it later on life if i were to apply there again?

And have you been equally confident about your insurance for that time?
Can you be 100% confident that your family or financial situation won't change in the next few months?

I appreciate that you're happy with your choices but you could have been happy with your choices and still waited till April to make them official on Track with NO disadvantage.
