ah yes.. I saw that earlier. Apologies I wasn't very clear. Most of what I have seen on official admission pages and sites are essentially fluff to me. They all say the same thing and that page basically looks like a tour guide's brochure. I was looking for a more first-hand account of a recent Cornell grad or perhaps anyone who visited Ithaca for an interview on what their impressions were, how student life really is, the nitty gritty details.. I'll keep looking but thought I'd ask.
Nice to see you on this forum as well!
I'll be heading up to Ithaca for Johnson Women in Business in a couple weeks so will write about my impressions then. A recent grad can probably provide the more specific information you're looking for. As a native of upstate NY, I will say that it is a beautiful place, but I am somewhat biased.
Likewise skm! Any word from SOM? (actually... maybe best to keep that kind of talk out of this thread, ha).
But definitely let us know how the event goes and your impressions on Ithaca! I'm sort of kicking myself for not having applied in the 1st round; I'm really liking Cornell's essay prompts.
