Personal Statement628 WordsCareer aspirations, Interest in other academic subject, Leadership experience, Place you’re contentEvery morning I follow the same routine: I drive to school, park in the senior lot, and go inside. I visit my locker, and get my books for the morning. Then I walk down the hall, retrieve the familiar blue and white lanyard keychain from my backpack, and unlock the nondescript door in front of me. I have arrived at my home away from home – the Blind Brook Marketplace. It all began one day in eighth grade: an interest meeting...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay594 WordsI am an anomaly among my peers. While many of them wrestle with the uncertainty of not knowing what they want to do or be in the future, I have always known. Even in elementary school, when the popular options were superhero or sports legend, I had altogether different aspirations. If you had asked me then, my answer would be the same as it is today: I want to work in the hospitality industry. When I traveled as a child,...School Specific Advice
How I chose schools to apply to204 WordsIf you're applying to Cornell early decision, you absolutely must be passionate about Cornell. Not only must Cornell be your first choice, but it must be a school that you are willing to pour your heart and soul into. While that may sound ridiculous, it's true. The majority of ED applicants to Cornell are in some way connected to the University,...What I like about my school’s location and culture442 WordsSimply put, "Ithaca is Gorges". Some people, however, are put off by Cornell's location. Cornell is what we call 'centrally isolated'. Getting to Ithaca is a pain – once you get off the highway (no matter which direction you're coming from), you need to drive a minimum of 40 minutes on local roads to actually reach Cornell. If you're concerned about driving, be aware that there are a lot of transportation options both around and to/from Ithaca. Within the city, you can use the TCAT Bus service to get anywhere – freshmen at Cornell have free unlimited bus passes, while upperclassmen recieve...Reaching out to professors and coaches at schools I applied to212 WordsI don't have much experience with this particular facet of the applications process, but I do have one small piece of advice regarding recommendations from college coaches, professors, etc. The summer before my senior year, I participated in a three-week summer course at Cornell. One of my professors, who happened to serve on the admissions committee for the Hotel School, made this point...

Whether I used a private admissions counselor, and advice I received

I never used a private admissions counselor, nor do I believe that one is necessary to succeed. Most people have a lot of resources that they can use throughout the process (which are all available for free). One of the most valuable...

My advice about getting recommenders
263 Words
Recommendations – the one component of your application that you are never able to see. Many students have a lot of difficulty finding teachers to write their letters of recommendation, but it should not be a difficult or stressful process. First of all, try to make sure that your recommenders were either your sophomore or junior year teacher. If the last time you had a teacher was freshmen year, and you're asking them for a recommendation at the end of...

Whether I took out loans or applied for scholarships, and my advice
243 Words
I am fortunate in that I did not need financial aid in order to attend Cornell. For that reason, what I'll say is mostly applicable to applicants in a similar position.
Try to find merit-based/application-based (non-need-based) scholarships! There's a great website called Niche that I had signed up for near the beginning of my senior year. It tracks possible scholarship opportunities and keeps you updated on the status of ones that...
Post-college plans
271 Words
Most people that know me have always known that I wanted to go to Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, but for many, that was the extent of what they knew about my career. And, in all honesty, that group included myself. I had worked so long to get into Cornell, but once I did, I didn't really know what I wanted to do within the hospitality industry. But that was okay! Some of my friends have their hearts set on certain...
