thanks for giving me hope..ive always liked cornell cuz of its location and the division of schools with a large university what school do you recommend applying for? I'm undecided, but may want to do something with law..but I heard that CAS is extremely hard to get into.

Major?

The gay aspect can contribute to your "diversity" but it's hard to mention without coming off as forced.
