love story

Ok...if i write this on my supplement essay....
...100% True story: I fell in love with a cornellian but something really bad happened after that and i need to get in to cornell to make up for it(elaborate of course) -this is one of the goals of my life + talk about how I am interested in this major and college etc.

Cornell would probably think i am insane right?

LOL. wouldn't be a bad introduction for the personal statement though; that is, if you really knew what you were doing.

you will get laughed at, ridiculed, put in the "what not to do essays" box and obviously rejected. you should really not embarrass yourself like that. pick something... more logical

My first thought if I were an adcom: "So this person had some teenage fling and now wants to take a coveted spot so he can make things better?!?" What happens after the first month when that's fixed?

Meh. If you're seriously going to use this story, make sure you clearly indicate that your love interests are not the only motivation you have for coming to Cornell.

you come off as a totally creepy stalker. to be honest, I do not want you here so go ahead and do what your heart desires, write your love story.
