Hi, Im a junior right now in high school and I’ve been thinking on applying ED to Cornell once I’m a senior. However, I’ve been reading a lot about the legacy and sibling legacy as well as donations, and I was wondering if I could get an answer from a current Cornellian or one that knows a lot about the admissions process. The reason as to why I am asking is, my older brother graduated in 2009 from ILR and is probably going to attend the Law School. He has been very involved in his fraternity and knows the ILR admissions director really well and they talk regularly. My dad gives donations, nothing like the “1.6 million” as I read in a previous post. I’m looking to apply to CAS. So, I was wondering if anyone could give me some input! Thanks a lot!!
