Did I screw up my application essay?

Applying to College
1

<p>In my essay to Cornell regarding my academic interests, I wrote something along the lines of: "Already an active member of [name of club] at [an university that is not Cornell], I can't wait to get involved in the clubs at Cornell!" I was trying to seem enthusiastic and, well, active... but I fear they will read it and think, "Well, why doesn't she just go to that university instead?"</p>

<p>The rest of my essay was about my work/volunteer/internship experiences and their relation to my intended major, and all the opportunities Cornell offers. I'm applying to CAS, by the way. </p>

<p>So, did I mess up? :(</p>

<p>If the university you mentioned is one you live near, which is why I assume you are already an active member of a club there, I wouldn’t think it would be a big deal. Especially if you have taken some classes there while in HS.</p>

<p>Yeah it is. I’m just really nervous. Thanks for your reply!</p>

<p>As long as you didn’t say you want to get involved with the other university you’re all good haha</p>
