after being placed on the "summer waiting list" i confronted reality and decided that the odds of me ACTUALLY being at cornell come august were exceptionally slim. with this realization in mind, (and having already paid my second seat desposit on a back up that i am very happy with) i decided that the best course of action would be for me to cancel my place on the list so that 1) i would not spend the entirety of my summer anxiously waiting around in vain 2) would be wasting my time / money / effort getting set up with where i am moving to and 3) give my law school situation a sense of finality that has been conspicuously absent and elusive since sending my apps out in september or whenever i sent them - i mean we were talking a good part of a year here, it was getting a little ridiculous. anyway, for those still waiting, good luck - hope that at least ONE of you make it off this list after all of this talk, speculation, and discussion.
