After you've finished filling out your application, you may feel something is missing. Feel free to write another short essay telling us anything else about yourself that you want us to know. Be sure to put your name and U.S. Social Security number on your work.


If i dont put in an essay, would that look bad? Consider the fact that i have much competition as manyyy people from my school are applying to this school.

Hey, I'm an International student applying to Cornell and I agree that they want a lot of things. However,my advice is that you write the extra essay since you have much competition on your side.(It would probably look bad if you didn't)You live in NY?
