<p>what does Cornell university like to see in an application?</p>
<p>lol? 10 char</p>
<p>Hopefully your name. Pseudonyms are acceptable but I hear that listing your legal name doubles your chances. You get bonus points for listing a really cool nickname that has a sexual pun in it along with your real one.</p>
<p>Cornell also has an extreme bias for written communication. If you want to communicate yourself through another medium, good luck. Cornell hasn’t accepted a finger-painted application since the early 90’s. Personally, I’m going against the crowd and condensing my application into a rhyming picture book.</p>
<p>Besides that, I think they want to see some test scores. Try not to list that one perfect spelling test you got in 3rd grade, I don’t think they’ll really care at this point.</p>
<p>No I think they will. You have to list that one test. It shows your lifelong commitment to academic excellence.</p>
<p>Jeez Korg… Why are you trying to screw this kid over?</p>

<p>^I failed at detecting your sarcasm. I fail at life.</p>
<p>lol.</p>
<p>I just shoulda put a /sarcasm at the end</p>
<p>I was like…</p>
<p>Oh man, I’m sorry about that. Here’s the link to Cornell’s website explaining what they look for.</p>
<p>You know what REALLY helps? Actually specifying a college you want to apply to:

<p>lmao Korg </p>
<p>I think you scarred Izabelle right off of CC!</p>
<p>Answer all their questions. Oh yeah, and they love to see the truth, not some b/s’ed items.</p>
<p>That’s good advise. A lot of kids embellish to make themselves sound better… but the reality is, they can see through that. Being straight forward and honest is always a good start to any application.</p>
