<p>is it common for people to submit applications on december 30th or 31st online… can it negatively affect you at cornell, or any other schools for that matter?</p>

2

<p>No, it’s fine. Even if you send it late you’re usually OK. The Adcom is there to pick the best students, not to make the students jump through hoops.</p>

3

<p>is there anything else besides a resume that we should send to enhance our cornell apps? everything on the resume is assumed to be true right… or should i send in proof of awards and stuff</p>

4

<p>music sample if you’re talented with an instrument</p>

5

<p>how did you do the music sample sparty? i know you wanted to be a music major… at home? unprofessional sounding? cuz that’s what i’m worried about</p>

<p>“music sample if you’re talented with an instrument”</p>

<p>im talented in piano, but dont intend to study or play piano at cornell… still send in a sample to show my talent though?</p>

7

<p>hollar back</p>

<p>yeah, if you think you’re good. guidelines are on the music website. <a href=“http://www.arts.cornell.edu/music/und-recordings.html[/url]”>http://www.arts.cornell.edu/music/und-recordings.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>im not a super-advanced piano player, but i think im pretty good,</p>

<p>can it hurt your application if they arent impressed; or will it just not help you</p>

10

<p>If they’re not impressed, it will reduce your piano ECs to a hobby, versus a reason to let you in. But if you don’t send the sample they wouldn’t regard your skills as a reason to let you in, either. So yeah, I don’t think it really can hurt. “This kid is bad at piano; lets reject him” sounds rediculous to me. Doesn’t it sound rediculous to you, too?</p>

11

<p>Would a picture, or perhaps even headshots, do good or would they just seem immature? I model (no, not runway) and I didn’t write about it at all or send photos in my ED application because I thought it would seem immature. Should I go ahead and just send them?</p>

12

<p>but runway modeling is so much cooler! :wink: If it’s something you do, or get paid for, why didn’t you put it in your application?</p>
