Cornell University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Cornell University?

Rebecca

Students who are prepared for VERY challenging workloads should consider Cornell if there are particular programs, departments, or faculty they are interested in working with. These students should be aware that the campus is diverse, but that diversity must be sought out. Cornell is a challenge: the school work is challenging, finding a social niche is challenging. Students who are prepared to accept this facet of Cornell and work hard should consider applying: it's worth it if you're ready for it.

Someone who is willing to learn but understands they can't do everything. Cornell is such a large school with so much going on that you can't fit everything in. They should also be able to accept failure and learn from it. You can't and won't be right all the time.
