What type of students are right for Cornell?

Aerial dancers, ethical hackers, fantasy authors, junior bank directors, and world travelers to name a few from the class of 2019. We seek students who will form a class that is well-balanced in their interests, talents, and backgrounds. By reviewing every application personally, we learn how each student  has invested time into growing as an individual in academic pursuits and extracurricular activities. So who comes to Cornell?
