<p>Unfortunately I won’t be able to visit either. I cannot afford the cost of flying from Atlanta to Philly and ESPECIALLY Cornell.</p>
<p>Its not just on this one basis, monydad. I have researched both schools extensively and am much much more satisfied with the overall experience Penn has to offer. Plus, I’m not very into the sciences or engineering, making Penn an even more logical choice.</p>
<p>What you say worries me just a little bit. If I go in determined to do something related to banking/finance/consulting, and I get a good GPA, I can still not make it? My parents want me to become doctors and I am choosing to pass all that up (despite Penn’s amazing medical connections) to go into what I am interested in. </p>
<p>Can I be let down that badly? What would I do then…any other options?</p>
