<p>“I sort of did have regrets,…”</p>
<p>It’s common to second-guess oneself after making a decision of great consequence, when the outcome is unclear. This is the first big decision of this ilk that many of you will make, but it will hardly be the last. You will have to buy a house, accept a job, choose a spouse, decide how to educate your kids, etc. </p>
<p>This is a well-recognized phenomenon, it even has a name, “Buyer’s Remorse”.</p>
<p>I imagine that each of you, before making your decision, went through a process you felt was reasonable and made the best decision you could, at the time, using the information that was available. In that case, I suggest do not dwell on the “What-ifs”, the decision is made so there is nothing productive to be gained from it. Instead, focus on the many positives, and devote all your efforts to making the best results you envisioned when you made your decision come true.</p>
<p>"Just wanted to update this "</p>
<p>Lacykid, there is no point updating for each individual data point. Unless you have a large # such data points these few individual instances are not sufficient to draw valid conclusions. Penn State is another school with a highly recognized Honors college anyway, but that’s besides the point.</p>
