Protangonist,
A few questions that might help you:
Is Cornell an end in itself, or a means to an end? For example, what do you want from college, and be as specific as you like with yourself (you can cut the details posting here)
Some suggestions: commaradie, a partner, team to play on, extra curricular activities, work placement that will lead to the firm you want, etc.
Could it be that Cornell is just a landmark on your journey to somewhere else - like you're ultimate goal is to be the next Gordon Gekko? If you know the destination, and you've absolute faith in your ability to get there, does the route matter? And if the route does matter, think to yourself, why?
Here's another (tough!) question? Why did you bring that rejection from Cornell into your life? Why did you want it?
Also, i can imagine your self belief has taken a knock for the time being and you can't see a way to manifest your goal anymore. If you're into affirmations, perhaps trying the affirmation
"No matter what happens, it benefits me." or "Everything, and everyone, makes my life better" to help build up your self belief.
Then you could also work on your self assurance, which is essentially "I don't know how, but I know what my goal is and that I'll succeed." Of course, the prerequisite of self assurance is clarity of outcome.
Lots of love,
Colm
