Ithaca, here I come!
After applying to three schools for graduate school, I was rejected to one, accepted to one, and waitlisted at another. I was planning to work another year and apply again but then I got this phone call from the International Admissions Office at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management asking me if I would like to join the class of ‘07. Apparently I was being called off the waitlist. Needless to say, I accpeted their offer last Friday 7/29 and am now busy packing my belongings to move to Ithaca, NY next weekend as Orientation starts 8/8/05. I’m still bewildered and mulling over my decision but I think it’s the right one.
So now I need to find a place to live which Gligor has been so nice in helping me with as well as figure out the whole student loan situation. I had luckily filled out the FAFSA form so I figure I must qualify for something. Once all that’s settled I can focus on picking classes, catching up on summer reading, and saying goodbye to friends and family yet again. It’s only for two years though and hopefully i’ll be better for it in the end. I’m still in disbelief. I told my boss an hour after I accepted and am still trying to write my official resignation letter. So much to do, so little time….
