Help! In a very unusual situation.

Now that everyone’s established that Bing is a great school for Economics that you didn’t apply to, HAVE YOUR CC PRESIDENT CALL ON YOUR BEHALF at a school where s/he has pull. I assume it’d be Cornell or URochester.
If you feel like it, apply to Vanderbilt. Add some of the colleges from the Nacac List. At this point, your alternative is to work, but it’s very difficult to go back and it really sounds like your original plan was to continue your studies, which Cornell derailed - but the goal is the degree, at Cornell or elsewhere.
