Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
Dear Cornell admissions: Why are you the only T15 that requires C&F about a speeding ticket? Why? What good comes of this? Major deterrent to my application.

Other T15 schools require traffic ticket disclosure. NYU and Penn off the top of my head.LSATuration wrote:Dear Cornell admissions: Why are you the only T15 that requires C&F about a speeding ticket? Why? What good comes of this? Major deterrent to my application.

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
Guys what did you put in the "who influence you to apply" section? I don't have family graduated from Cornell, so I don't feel like putting N/A in two required sections.
And is mentioning a friend who went to Cornell for undergraduate a good idea? She did talk to me about her life in Ithaca literally every day though...

Putting N/A is fine, but I think listing your friend would also be fine as long as you make it clear that hearing about Ithaca from this person was a positive influence on your decision to apply.Leisreana wrote:Guys what did you put in the "who influence you to apply" section?

Back when I applied, Columbia definitely asked for this, but Cornell didn't. You're going to need to dig up the speeding ticket info for bar admissions in 4 years anyway, so might as well do it now and keep track of it. For my bar app, I was able to just go back to my Columbia app to see what I said about my speeding ticket.SopranoSaxophone wrote:Other T15 schools require traffic ticket disclosure.

Totally missed the Penn note, so thank you. But NYU's section is small. Cornell's is quote odious relative to NYU, at least in UX/presentation. A lot more detail requested.SopranoSaxophone wrote:Other T15 schools require traffic ticket disclosure.

Checking in! Hope to submit early this week. One question that I'm sure has been asked and answered: Does section 8 of the app suffice for a Why Cornell? Or is an additional addendum recommended?

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
I definitely agree. It'd be pretty hard to fill out that section and write a full Why Cornell without seeming redundant anyway, I think.etramak wrote:

Per some random dude on google that I read a few months ago, every NY school requires this thanks to the phrasing of a C&F question on the NY bar.LSATuration wrote:Dear Cornell admissions: Why are you the only T15 that requires C&F about a speeding ticket?

Does anyone know what the deal with interviews is? Do they offer them to everyone, when do they start offering, etc? I just applied yesterday, I'm just curious as to if I should be expecting an interview request anytime soon!

So if we don't do a full Why Cornell it's not going to hurt us? They're in my top 3 and I don't want to do anything to hurt my chances.Ntp73821 wrote:I definitely agree.

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
I mean, I’m no authority on the matter but I don’t think it would hurt you. I really think the section on the app is sufficient, but if you want to write a full Why Cornell I guess in theory you could just write “addendum attached” in that box on the app. That said, I don’t see why they’d have that section on the app unless they prefer that people keep to that length.blackmamba8 wrote: So if we don't do a full Why Cornell it's not going to hurt us?

I also don't see why it would hurt you, as long as you have substantive stuff to say that will actually add to your application. If you end up repeating yourself for some of the addendum, it probably isn't worth it.Ntp73821 wrote:I mean, I’m no authority on the matter but I don’t think it would hurt you.

Omg opening this thread made my stomach turn. It’s very early for decisions already.
I went complete in the later part of September, and am now “ready for review.” No decision yet.

Cornell has a new dean, right? I wonder if the new dean is looking for things that we don't know about yet.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
