Maybe you are having trouble making the rapid change in outlook since you are under time pressure. But fear of change should not stop you from the long view. If Georgetown has been your dream school and you decline it now, I think you may regret your decision for a long time.



Very very good point. I was also kind of in the same situation as the OP over a month ago; just found out I’d gotten into my first choice school, after not hearing from them at all in April, and without knowing that I was even on the waitlist -_- I remember thinking that if they’d asked me to make a decision in the very same minute that I’d received the news, I wouldn’t have accepted the offer. I had already gotten pretty excited with the idea of attending this other school, that it was so so hard to suddenly have to switch gears.



Why was Georgetown your dream school? Have your priorities changed? If not, then you should probably accept the offer and follow your dream.



I think these are really good questions to ask yourself.



You dreamed about it, thought it would never happen, but now it is. Follow your dream!



So this is basically what I did in the end. I thought, there must be a reason why I got the offer. This school had been my first choice all along, and now that I’d been given the chance to attend, it would be pretty stupid to turn them down, right? And I’d regret not going to my first choice college so much more than not going to the school I’d already enrolled at. So yeah.

Deep down, even when I was finding it hard to let go (and I still do now, a little), I think I always knew I’d go for my first choice in the end. To the OP: follow your heart, and I wish you all the best. :)
