Can I still change my mind?!?

Hey cardigan, if you truly feel like you want to switch, do contact both schools and make your case, and contact them SOON. Be persistent, and patient, and apologize profusely. However, admissions officers from both schools understand what it’s like to make a college decision, and they want you to be happy. They’ll also probably be willing to at least talk things over with you, so that you can put into coherent thought exactly what you’re feeling.

I know a girl who switched into MIT after deciding on WUSTL, so MIT should be pretty forgiving.

Let us know the result. It can’t hurt to try. And again, it’s best to be happy with where you’re going next year. I think it’s been sufficiently after May 1st that this isn’t a case of buyer’s remorse, but rather, you have a gut feeling that Princeton’s better for you.
