<p>Good News: I received an email from Middlebury. The AdminOfficers are going to meet in committee to discuss my February enrollment status. My mother is calling in tm to just discuss her concerns too.</p>
<p>Also, Middlebury offered to let me send my commitment card in late. (I am not double depositing)I am keeping my place at Cornell and will consider withdrawing when I hear back from the AdminOfficers at Midd. </p>
<p>I need to make a plan around the possible outcomes. </p>
<p>@blu_g8orade: What did you mean by your third comment? </p>
<p>@toadstool: Yes I know that it is not an extremely popular option. (Max 7 a year wind up doing some type of 3+2) Not Many students want to leave their senior year to start at Columbia SEAS. Kids just think “Hey why leave for my senior year in a year when I can just to go grad school. later.” Did you get examples of the situation you mentioned? “Few students who start 3/2 engineering programs at LACs actually finish. Due to the lack of social support of other engineering students or hands on engineering projects, they drift off to other majors.” That sounds a little discouraging. </p>
<p>@kayf: My parents dislike paying the extra two semesters of tuition but will do it to get 2 degrees instead of one.</p>
<p>@tk21769 the 3+2 and the dual degree programs are one and the same.</p>
