<p>You should definitely not look at this program as a “bad” thing. I know several people who are in HEOP/EOP, and they’re doing great! As yousonofatree said, HEOP/EOP students are required to attend the PSP program, where they take classes and become acclimated to the Cornell system. I don’t see how this is a bad thing. I was even in PSP, and should be a program assistant for the program this year. FYI: This year’s PSP students will be housed in Carl Becker House.</p>
<p>Back to the topic…I know someone who was accepted last year under HEOP and did not attend because he felt that there was something inferior about his acceptance. Let’s just say that he really, really regrets that decision. The bottom line is that whether or not you’re in HEOP/EOP means nothing: Your degree still says Cornell!</p>
