I sent out my application last Wednesday, and I feel a void without the uber-stress. I feel like subjecting myself to the judgement of complete strangers will fill that. Also, I posted this in the wrong place. I am aware, so now I am posting it again in the right place. Don’t get rabbley. : )

Written / Letters



I’m very happy with my application essays (Evaluate Significant Experience / Evaluate Academic Interests + how they relate to Cornell ILR)
Awesome letters of recommendation.



—I know that ILR is very “fit” based, and I feel like my letters and essays portray that fit much better than stats / list of extracurrics…
