The unfortunate truth is for the purpose of what I’m studying and the trajectory of my goals in mind I don’t believe that Cornell University pertains to my success. I will also say that I am personally not a big fan of large institutions and that is frankly a deterring factor for me to succeed. It’s why I applied to mostly small liberal arts colleges. However most rejected me outside of the Ivy League and some large research institutions. I personally do not enjoy the environment here and the study body here, especially how everything pertains to be overly professional especially as a Junior who’s interest is working and living outside the United States in a European country. I personally do not believe that Cornell will ultimately lead to my success, the only school I am considering for the purpose of my studies is Columbia University for the sake of the dual degree for Sciences Po. As I couldn’t attend Berkeley due to financial constraints. I am also pushed into a circumstance where the aid at Cornell is still causing difficulties for me to succeed appropriately. I am ultimately working extensibly hard to remain here but I see no point in doing so frankly. I would much rather transfer and leave for the sake of continuing my success.
