<p>If you want to study environmental science, Middlebury is a fine place to do it.
But you need to have a little faith. If a school like Middlebury admits you, they are not going to let an administrative decision to enroll in the Spring completely disrupt all your academic plans. The school exists for you. If they do not move you into a Fall enrollment, they will help you get on track some other way.</p>
<p>There are no terrible options here, but it sounds like you will be more satisfied if you put yourself in the driver’s seat and make this process work for you.</p>
<p>Just be careful how you handle the communications. Do not double-deposit. But don’t kill your Cornell option before you’ve determined that Midd (or Bowdoin) will accept your late check. Back up any phone call with an email exchange. And be sure your parents are on board.</p>
<p>Please let us know how it goes. Good luck.</p>
