In their own words: meet the newest Cornellians
College essays help our admission team get to know future Cornellians and provide a look into their lives—their hopes, goals, and dreams. Our new class of students submitted thought-provoking essays that show a diverse array of interests and backgrounds. Though we’ve trimmed them slightly to fit within the pages of this magazine, the essays are otherwise untouched—offering a genuine glimpse into the minds of our newest Cornellians. As you read, take a moment to think back: What did you write about in your Cornell admission essay?
