<p>can someone hook me up with their Why Cornell essays? =P I just wants to see how to approach an essay. I'm applying for the economic/statistic program, so if you want to send me some of your old essays of why you want to apply to ANOTHER major at Cornell, feel free to PM me</p>
<p>alright, i see how it is</p>
<p>Dude, you waited only for 49 minutes. You do know that this forum is kind of slow at night since people actually sleep.</p>
<p>Yo, man, what’s up? </p>
<p>Try Googling it, a lot of the people here are really competitive, although you might get lucky.</p>
<p>oh hey biggie. </p>
<p>playhacker- okay sorry, i was really excited after i posted this thread.</p>
<p>But yeah, if you PM me, all ur wildest dream will come true</p>
<p>^What?! lol Well, that was interesting. 
I wish I could help you out, but I’m a senior so my essay is long gone. I never saved it. :(</p>
<p>write about your passions for why you want to be an econ/stat major. start with that</p>
<p>Should the Why Cornell essay be structured more like a school essay or personal statement? And should the focus of the essay be on my love for the Cornell’s program or on me as a human being?</p>
<p>I’m a little confused by this topic. Isn’t “Why Cornell?” a Common App topic? Presumably, one could write about a wide range of topics while including why one is so interested in Cornell, couldn’t they?</p>
<p>^ “Why Cornell” is the supplement essay. I just want to see an example. You know how when you start your personal statement, you read a couple successful essays from books just to get a feel of what a personal statement is like before you write your own. Right now, i just want to read some past essays from the Cornell people who got in already just to get an idea.</p>
<p>I think you should read the Cornell supplement application. If it’s still the same each school has their own supplement and none of them ask why cornell?</p>
<p>^i know that, its just that Why Cornell is short and to the point. </p>
<p>So… anybody? please</p>
<p>gotta step up</p>
<p>^ Lucaskhan, did you sent it to me? cuz i didn’t get it. What did you mean “gotta step up”</p>
<p>everyone has a difference reason for why cornell. it is really up to you to figure out why YOU want to go here. reading examples wont exactly help you in the long run.</p>
<p>i want my Why Cornell essay to be about me, that’s why i don’t want to read one about why someone else applied to Arts and Sciences College. But i do want to read an essay about why someone wanted to do engineering at cornell. That way i can know how specifics you have to be and what kind of things that i should talk about.</p>
<p>there really is no right/wrong answer or direct formula to write these essays. just put down some ideas in outlines, try to write out a few of your favorite ideas. sometimes it takes multiple drafts until you get one that works</p>
<p>^ yeah true. Okay, never mind about the whole send me your essay things then. </p>
<p>But if any Cornell students want to see my draft, just holla here. =)</p>
