<p>help! after much agonizing between JHU biomedical eng and Cornell eng my son made the decision yesterday to go to cornell. I overnighted the response yesterday.Now this am he is unsure again. Thinks he should chose JhU asked if he can still make yhe change today. And he's almost ill about this. I told him to go to his guidance counsler at school today and talk to her and call me from there. What should I/he do. and isn't it too late to change? cornell will have everything by this afternoon. What to do?</p>
<p>Wow. Parentalunit's child just posted chose C over JHU in another thread. Is this cold feet? I'm sure a phone call would suffice; I imagine others go thru this too.</p>
<p>I guess if it was me I'd say "you already made your decision last night, Cornell is a great school, just go ahead and go" unless there was a compelling reason to change. If he switches today to the other school then he'll have 'decision remorse' within a few hours of making that decision and will be back in the same boat.</p>
<p>I agree with uscd<em>ucla</em>dad.</p>
<p>He made the decision, go forward from there.</p>
<p>I also agree with ucsd-ucla-dad. Assure him again that Cornell is a GREAT choice, and remind him of all of the reasons for that. Hug him, tell him it will be fine, then try to get him to move on.</p>
<p>Of course kids that are waitlisted at Cornell are saying, "Go with JHU, you'll be happier there, go...":) Tell him to go with Cornell and don't look back.</p>
<p>No, because Cornell has very good yield predictors. </p>
<p>Everyone has buyer's remorse, any everyone needs to get past it.</p>
<p>It is really hard to let go of a school you've come to know and love. But no one can attend more than one (unless they transfer, of course).</p>
