Talk about the people who influenced you if they did. According to Lavitz you can just put N/A if nobody really did though
I am going to put Andy Bernard.

No problem. But someone else will probably ignore my post and ask the same thing anyway. :lol:

Checking in. Sent out apps today. Cornell was actually the first college campus I ever visited and will always be my idea of what a campus should look like.

I'm biased but it really is a beautiful campus.

Expecting the fall colors to be similarly beautiful, probably even more so, but not sure about when the snow comes in.

This weekend, a 1L told me that I convinced her to attend Cornell. Neat.

Dude, no joke if I attend Cornell you would be a huge factor in that decision. You've written me like 6,000 words worth of PM's answering my questions. Your insight is truly second to none.

Another 1L told me today that our class was bigger than expected by the administration... could be due to Lavitz.

No hidden waiver for me. :( Hope they are feeling generous in the near future with solicited waivers!

Checking in. Fee waiver e-mail sent this evening.

Edit: Which is to say, I received an e-mail from Cornell stating that I had been granted a waiver. It's a good thing that vague statements won't be a problem in my chosen profession, or anything... :roll:

does anybody know if you can send the dean's certification form before you submit your application?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
