Warm boots that are also waterproof, preferably slip resistant. If you already have a water-resistant coat, then you'll be fine for winter if you layer long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, whatever under it... but a lot of people buy full on parkas. A good umbrella. Possibly some thermal pants to wear under your trousers on the really really cold wind-chill days. Honestly, you probably won't be spending a lot of time outside, and the school itself is kept pretty warm throughout the year.Rubbishdump wrote:What should I buy to prepare myself for Ithaca?

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Does anybody here know if Cornell negotiates to a full scholarship? I was recently offered an identical amount of scholarship money at UVA ($150,000) and I was wondering whether I'd be able to bring that to Cornell and point to the lower cost of living/attendance at UVA and the fact that they are a higher ranked school as a means of getting them to bring that 150k to a full?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I would not point to the fact that they're a higher ranked school, to be honest. I think that could be off-putting, and Cornell is well aware of the rankings without you pointing it out. Cornell gives out close-to-full scholarships, but only has 2 named scholarships that they give out ever year. You have to be invited to apply/interview for those.ReadyToStart wrote:Does anybody here know if Cornell negotiates to a full scholarship?

Instead, I would show them UVA's offer and say that you'd prefer to go to Cornell, since it's your top choice, and if offered some more $, you will commit. And then point to the lower COA. You have to be willing to bind yourself to that statement though, so be careful.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I'm thinking about visiting individually since I can't make it to either Admitted Student day. What would you guys recommend I do while I'm there besides the tour and sitting in on a class that'll give me a good feel for life at Cornell/living in Ithaca?

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Any advice for someone interested in international public interest work currently deciding between Georgetown and Cornell? Could Cornell work well for me?
My specific background and area of interest is centered on Asia. I'm not interested in corporate law (unless it could somehow eventually act as a pathway to work in that area, which it doesn't on the face of it seem to), and while I know Georgetown is generally set up well for PI work, this work is most often expressed as policy work in DC or work through three letter government agencies. I'm looking to find work in (potentially smaller) legal development organizations abroad, so I don't know if that changes anything.
Honestly I know this is a somewhat specific question, so you all may not be able to answer it. Anyway, broadly speaking I feel much more drawn to Cornell as a school than to Georgetown. I'm definitely into the smaller class size and more intimate atmosphere. And I think to an extent it's important to not ignore gut feelings of this kind. But the fact that Cornell seems so corporate focused has been a bit discouraging.
Another problem is I've reached out to the person at Cornell working in my area of interest and have yet to receive a response (it's been a bit over a week now). The admissions office has been receptive and has encouraged me to reach out to this person (even recommending I give the person a call), but I have no idea whether or not this is actually a good idea or if it's simply the admissions office being an admissions office. Georgetown has a larger number of people working in my area (obviously, it's a much bigger school), but I still remain more drawn to Cornell.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I don't know if this is the person you were put in contact with, but the public interest dean (Dean Comstock) is retiring in a week and therefore might be focusing on getting her affairs in order (if that's who you've reached out to). Otherwise, I believe the person for international stuff is Dean Brundige, so you might want to reach out to her (if that's not who you've reached out to). Sorry I can't be more helpful! The new PI dean is arriving on April 3.muggleclutch wrote:Any advice for someone interested in international public interest work currently deciding between Georgetown and Cornell?

Sorry, I should have clarified further.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I think Cornell would be as good a choice as any other T-14 for international public interest law in Asia, but I don't have any personal experience with this, so I'm just going by gut feeling based on: Cornell's reputation in Asia, the amount of e-mails we got about events regarding Asia or international law, the fact that I kept hearing people say that we had a good international law program, and the fact that I know a few people who got international public interest law jobs but in the Middle East. I don't think it's so much that the school itself is "corporate focused" so much as most of the people who attend self-select into NYC biglaw.muggleclutch wrote:Any advice for someone interested in international public interest work currently deciding between Georgetown and Cornell?

As for the prof, if it's bothering you and they don't respond soon, I'd just call and tell them that admissions recommended calling them.

Any advice on how to use the travel stipend effectively? $350 is not a lot of money, especially if you're coming a long way. Does admissions ever give you more than $350?

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I tried, they don't. I have suggested to admissions several times that they set up a home-stay program for admitted students coming from a long way out, like Vanderbilt does, in which they connect admitted students with current students who are willing to spare a couch or guest bed for ASW. No such luck on any official program. Maybe try contacting admissions to ask if they know any students willing to lend you a couch? $350 should cover a large chunk of your travel expenses even if you're coming from the west coast, but it will not cover a hotel at all.lawpotato wrote:Any advice on how to use the travel stipend effectively? $350 is not a lot of money, especially if you're coming a long way.

They didn't for me, also from California, but you can try. The general sense is that admissions is running a little differently this cycle -- they even held a small focus group last semester with some of us for feedback.lawpotato wrote:Yeah coming out from California isn't going to be cheap.

btw, I do not recommend flying into Syracuse or Tompkins County airports unless you can get a very, very good deal. (a) Doing so if often more expensive than simply flying into NYC and bussing up to Ithaca, and (b) service to those airports is unreliable and low-quality. I don't know anyone who has flown out of/into Tompkins County who has had a good experience.

In through JFK or LGA and bussing it from Port Authority is, sadly, the most reliable way I've seen. Can someone else jump in with an opinion on Rochester?

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
When I visited from California as a 0L, I was set up with a host through an affinity group. You could also ask the admissions office if they could set you up with someone, I bet they would be willing to find you a host. And if you can't find anything, you're welcome to stay on my couch, just PM me (I'm a 3L).lawpotato wrote:Yeah coming out from California isn't going to be cheap.

Thanks for the heads up! It's good to hear that people from Asia (and presumably those studying at Cornell themselves) think highly of it. Perhaps trying to integrate myself in some way with the Asians that are in Cornell's LLM program would be a good idea, though many of them will probably also be primarily focused on law as it relates to business (as opposed to politics, for example).

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Thanks for taking questions guys. Thoughts on attending Cornell if I'm not 100% sold on NYC Biglaw? Pretty certain I want to do BL for as long as it takes to pay down my loans, but I'd much rather be in a non-NYC market (NYC's high COL and infamously inhumane BL lifestyle makes it not my most desired place to end up). What percentage of the class (e.g., top 25%, top 10%, etc.) would a student have to be in to find themselves with BL options beyond NYC (really anywhere; DC/LA/Chi/Boston/Philly/etc.; I know some of those are tougher to crack than others and a bidding strategy that included all of those cities would be dumb as hell, but just humor me for this question) if they don't have any real ties to those cities/don't have a "home" market?

Is the law school's CoL estimate liberal? What's the lowest one can realistically go? I guess housing would be the biggest negotiable component. Would really appreciate an insight. Thank you!
