Congratulations Mimsy! That will be very exciting for you! 3 weeks notice for early admission though? I feel bad for the people who aren't granted early admission. They must only get a day or two notice!
CSign, students on regular admissions find out usually in April, so they have months to decide and prepare. Early admissions usually send out the acceptance letters a month before classes begin. Early admits are considered "waitlisted" and depends on the number of current students to see if the earlies can be accommodated.
Do you find your dog to be a valuable asset in controlling your anxiety? If so you can get your dog certified as a service dog and then you can live anywhere and they must accept the dog too. I have read several stories locally where local military personnel with PTSD etc have now got Service dogs...
Luca would yes have to be certified, but for anxiety issues, it's not easy to get certified. But it can be done. I would need tons of documentation from my psychiatrist, primary care doctor, and a canine behavior specialist tro determine if he truly aids me and prevents my panic attacks. I just know that ever since I got him, after a traumatic family incident that threw my emotions out of whack, my Luca has been a God-send. He can sense when I'm becoming nervous and he gets very close to me, wanting me to hold him. And it works.
Maybe she can take a year and start the program in 2013, after she's had time to make arrangements and plan. Cornell's early acceptance program usually admits at the end of soph. year in college, and requires admittees to spend their junior year focused on a project or research to develop experience in a relevant area anyway before starting at Cornell in what would have been senior year. So seems they wouldn't be adverse to her doing that esp. since they should have given her a full year of warning/prep. in the first place, rather than a few weeks.
Good luck!
Yes, in my junior year in the university I'm in now, I became involved with a research project working with a professor of animal behavior. This was for credit for admissions to Cornell. My project was well-received and I believe it was an important reason they accepted me early.
I have 3 days to decide what to do. I can finish my senior year here at NYU, but the only classes I have left are electives. All my animal sciences are complete. That's another reason Cornell said I can matriculate early. I would take the electives on a fast-track during spring break and it wouldn't interfere with my first year of graduate school at Cornell.
advice for you, Mimsy, ....BUT...i dont and wouldnt trust the other student, they might start to try experiment with taxidermitry...!
Taxidermy????? OMG NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brothers say i should stay home and finish my last year at NYU and then go on to Cornell graduate school for vet med in 2013. But my parents want me to keep going fast-track as they've been doing to me my whole life. Academically I can do it, but emotionally I'm a wreck.I don't mind fast track if I could still live at home. I feel like I'm letting my parents down and I feel like a failure. I'm depressed and worried. Anxiety disorder is a bitch.
THANK YOU, JIRO.
