<p>your answer is easy enough. you said “i want to go so badly.” so go. you have to take a leap sometimes.
what’s the worse that could happen anyways?</p>
<p>i’m not as gong-ho about going to cornell as you, but that’s just my personal preference. i didn’t feel that it was all that spectacular while i was there…and i heard from a chem. e prof. himself that madison would offer me as good an education in chem. engineering as cornell. the only difference for me would be the reputation and how certain people would treat me differently knowing I came from an ivy.</p>
<p>but the point is…my heart was just not into it and yours is. so do yourself the favor and listen to that tiny little voice screaming in your head. life’s too short to live in fear.</p>
