hey! so i finally decided im going to apply ED to CALS! wow so i have a few questions maybe you have some insight? any reply is appreciated!

-what are the main characteristics cornell is looking for in a student in particular? good things to communicate through your essay?

-for CALS what are the most important factors? fit/gpa/sat/location/urm/personality/major?

-is cornell lenient to a lower freshmman year gpa? or is there a 0 tolerance sort of policy you think?

-can i submit any supplemental materials? an art supplement or a research abstract?

-how important are recs? do you think if im applying for CALS i should have at least one science teacher do my rec or does it really not matter as long as they say something thoughtful?

-would you say cornell tends to dip their high standards a little bit or not at all for ed applicants?

-how does being a urm affect my admission chances to cornell in specific? (hispanic)

-do you think cornell is looking for a quirky/creative applicant? how important is uniqueness?

well here are some questions racing through my noggin…if you have input on any (or all!!) of these i appreciate you dearly - many thanks :)
