<p>So following much thought, sweatshirt purchasing, freaking out, and gradual acceptance and happiness, I've come to realize that Cornell is the place I want to be this fall. I've started telling people this is where I'm attending school and the reaction is amazing... everyone's so impressed, family and friends alike. I feel like I've found my place and I'm super excited, BUT I can't bring myself to send in my SIR! It's sooo final... I feel like I'll be selling my soul, and I guess I'm afraid I'll change my mind?</p>
<p>Anyone else have this problem, or am I the only one?</p>
<p>Wadawada, congrats on making a decision! In the words of Bob Dylan, Don’t think twice, it’s all right!</p>
<p>I think I’ll do it today… I’ve made my decision, no point in letting myself keep flip flopping even though I know what I want to do. It’s just like aahhhhh, clicking this button is solidifying the next 4 years of my life!</p>
<p>I think you’ll feel much better once you’ve clicked the button. It’s really nice to have the decision made and finalized and not have to think about it any more.</p>
<p>The button’s been clicked, but I think I’ll always have twinges of thinking “what if?” and such. I think of my super close friends who are going to an amazing school that I would also do well at, I think of being closer to my family…</p>
<p>But then I google search Ithaca in the fall and the Cornell campus and I feel reassured in my decision. I know it’s the right choice and I’m super excited, but it’ll still be sad leaving my home and my loves.</p>
<p>You made the right decision. Cornell is great place and you will never look back.
Even though I’m admitted through early decision, I went to Cornell days yesterday. Aside from the long car ride and lousy weather, it was great and I mean everything was great from the Ambassadors, to the tour, to the info sessions they had going on and the friendly people. I can’t see why anyone would go anywhere else no matter what they want to study. I really wanted to stay and not leave. Ithaca is a beautiful place and you should be super excited. See you in the fall. P.S. Family is never far away with video chatting so don’t worry.</p>
<p>Even though you advised me to look elsewhere before committing? Cornell just seems to have the whole package to me, so I’m excited to go there. And for clarification, I’m not solid in my future pre-career emphasis, so it wasn’t a huge factor in deciding to go there. Cornell’s simply extremely good at everything I’m considering potentially doing, which is what made it my top academic choice.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your kind words and reassurance! It makes me even happier that I can look forward to being surrounded by people like all of you.</p>
<p>Like I said in the above posting, you did make the right decision. You kept your options open before committing and will never look back. It is a great place and after the Cornell days yesterday, I really feel even better than I did after I got in ed. If you did not go to the cornell days program, I think they are doing it tomorrow and Monday and then it is over. It is worth the trip.</p>
<p>I know this sounds stupid, but where do you send in your acceptance? It didn’t say on my login page and it doesnt’ say in the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>You remember that snazzy envelope they sent you where you pull on the ribbon and your acceptance comes out? In that booklet thing, there’s a pocket at the back that has an envelope and a post card thing that you send them with your deposit.</p>
<p>Good luck wadawada, and congratulations. Try to do one of the summer “outdoor odyssey” programs, they are a great way to meet some of your fellow classmates, I’m told.</p>

Crap, I misplaced that…time for scavenger hunt, item: 1 Cornell University acceptance letter.</p>
