Confusion

[pirate]

Dear Forum Members,

I am an international student. I accepted a Cornell fully funded offer on 15th. After 15th of April, I have received full funding from Cambridge University, UK on 2nd of May. I am torn. Cornell had already issued their 1-20 and I am not sure that it will be prudent to renege a moral contract.

This is your life. You should do what you think is right for you. Don't commit to attending a 5-year PhD program in the US, and presumably therefore a different career path, if you would rather be in the UK, just because the timing worked out a certain way. The only thing I would advise is to be very sure, and to do it quickly, if you are going to tell Cornell you've changed your mind. If you are professional and respectful, hopefully this should not burn any bridges for you.

Go to Cornell and give me the fully funded Cambridge offer. 

(Just kidding. Congrats on both offers.)
