Cornell wasn’t my older daughter’s dream school. It was her back up school because she thought her stats “qualified” her for higher ranking schools. Cornell wait listed her because they didn’t think she would matriculated. Long story short, she fell in love with Cornell during orientation and never looked back. She said they were best 4 years of her life. She graduated 2 years ago, got her dream job and was just ranked #1 analyst on her team (a bit of bragging).

My younger daughter was the Sal for her class, with many other excellent credentials. Both her school GC and our private college counselor to apply to Yale or Princeton. She compared Cornell with all of those schools (on a spreadsheet) and decided to ED Cornell. She said Cornell had everything she wanted in a college. I had the best course offering with 7 different colleges, great college town and good social life (her older sister’s experience). She just finished her first semester at Cornell. She is very happy over all. We are thrilled that she made dean’s list.

Allow your daughter some time to get over, “could have, should have.” If she is still in the “I wish…” mode after few weeks then I would give her a stupid smack in the head. She is lucky to be admitted to Cornell. Her education at Cornell will serve her well in life.
