<p>Leigh,</p>
<p>So sorry that you got waitlisted. That's Cornell's loss. I've really enjoyed your attitude on this board. Keep up that spirit. It will take you way farther in life then a diploma from CU.</p>

That was pretty dissapointing, I really wanted to go. This was also my second rejection today. I guess I might try to transfer next year.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech is excellent!! I believe it's in the top 5. My friend is there for engineering and loves it. I thought about applying there but really wanted to stay in the Northeast</p>

<p>Wharf, thank you so much. It is always terrible to receive anything but a definite yes from your dream school, but I guess there are so many other options to what one can make out of life so it's not the end of the world. It's just that I'm sore about missing out on the "Cornell experience" and the unique memories that I could shared with amazing ppl like these here on CC.</p>
<p>As for college, I think I'll go to University of Edinburgh to complete the 4 years for a Masters (double degree in Psychology & Business Studies). Not a bad trade off considering that it's the same amount of time for a BA in the States. :o</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, regardless where you will be going to. Someday, we will look back and feel proud of the awesome life we carved out. I know I will.</p>
