Step 1: Relax

So you have been admitted to at least one graduate programs in astronomy. First of all, congratulations! You have probably worked hard to achieve that goal, studying for the GREs, doing summer research, compiling an excellent GPA, etc., etc.

So before you start obsessing about choosing the right graduate program for you, stop reading this, and don't come back for at least a week. Relax, read a good book, go see a movie. And by the way, you can stop obsessing about your undergraduate GPA (no, don't fail any classes, you still need to graduate, and your graduate school will want to see a proof of that). See you in 7 days.

Now that you are all relaxed, you are ready to go to the Step 2.
