Hello fellow applicants,

Common App:I wrote this based off sitting in the back of a classroom (Where all the bad kids sat lol) during my middle school years in urban Turkey. My middle school was for poor rural children who had just arrived to the city from the impoverished countryside and how less than 40% graduates had opportunity to go to high school, not to say college. I then wrote about the difficulties for my best friend went through and my continuous support and help for him after realizing the existence of inequality and my own privilege, even after coming to the U.S.
Supplement : Elaborated on development of my interest in the Hotel Bussiness from childhood to high school. How my high school internship made me realize that studying this subject was to help society. I tied this to sociology and to my realization of inequality during middle school and how my middle school experience compelled me to explore social issues in high school through things like MUN and AP Econ.My major at Cornell to show how various professors/programs at Cornell could help me reach explore my passions. Finished up with a sentence reference to my campus visit and my goal of becoming a Hotel owner who will make the bussiness more available.

I am joking, such applicant doens’t exist
Waitlisted SHA. Scores and grades could be better. ECs and essays were impeccable. Hopefully it’ll be family connections that get me in off the waitlist. Anyone have a clue on timeline?
Anyone hear anything yet?
Nothing at all
