Hello everyone,
So this year I was selected to be a Horatio Alger Trott Family scholar. This requires that I attend UChicago, where I was accepted early action; in fact, I’ve already accepted my acceptance to UChicago as they required it. However, I had applied to Yale and Harvard regular decision, and I just found out that I was accepted to Yale. At this point I’m really torn between the two schools, and I don’t feel like I can really make a decision until I see both in April. But Horatio Alger wants me to put in confirmation that I’ll be attending their early April conference now, and I feel kind of guilty accepting the invitation to the conference and potentially not being able to accept the scholarship. So should I just go to the conference and then if I decide on Yale let them know later and decline the scholarship? Or should I just decline the conference invitation?
Thanks for your advice!
