Cornell c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013) Forum

[top30man]

I have no idea what to write for the "interest in Cornell section." My motivation is basically dat Biglaw placement, but I assume that's a given with most applicants... better off leaving blank?

Maybe something like "My professor told me I should go to Cornell because I'm a good arguer. Also, something about how she thinks I'll just love the weather."

Cornell tries so hard to sell Ithaca. I think referencing it may actually help. Srsly.

I mean, it's Gorges.


Actually, though, it has been so far.

Yes, its been great so far. Ithaca gets a bad rap it doesnt entirely deserve. We will see how we feel in January.

Basically, this is what Floridians say in January. Nowhere's perfect, and people love to bitch.

Hearing this over and over again is literally the only thing making me want to throw myself off one.

It was either that or the shirt from the store next to CTB that says "It's Lonely at the Top:The Ivy League"

Obvs gotta go for the preftige.

Is it supposed to be ironic?

Welcome to Ithaca.

How's Ithaca treating you, HBB? Can I use you as someone who influenced me to apply?

I'm enjoying myself. I'm flattered but considering the quality of my posting, that'd be a death knell for your app. Let me know how your cycle goes, GL with UVA.

Also, wrt the last few posts, this is the best applicants thread on TLS.

Yesssss!

I wonder if I can construe "names of individuals" to mean "types of liquor," because then the question might actually take on some meaning.

Two birds with one stone: Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan

Just got off the phone with admissions. In case anyone was wondering, they just finished archiving last cycle's apps today and are starting to import the current cycle's apps into their system. Confirmation e-mails and status checker login info should be out by the middle of next week.

Of course, you forgot to ask about the influence question.

My app's already in, bro. I stopped caring about that question on August 25th.

Other than snow, what is so bad about Ithaca?

I wanna hear the answer to this...

The school is on top of a steep hill. Other than that, it's just like any other college town.

Don't forget that preftigious stench of Ivy that hangs over the town.

[HBBJohnStamos]

That's outweighed by the crunchiness of the Commons.

Sounds great for the quads.

Honestly, Ithaca is a nice college town. It kind of feels like a hippie commune, but the weather is the worst thing.

My #s are median lsat (the most recent numbers) and a tiny bit below median gpa. Should I write a Why Cornell (I know they ask for one basically) or save for LOCI?

We're almost number twins (I have slightly above median GPA) and I wrote one.

Did you attach it as an addenda?
