<p>I am applying for Cornell engineering. My supplementary essay greatly depends upon whether the school is more theory-based or is rather interested in practical application. I heard that most Ivies like theories, but I also heard that Cornell is an exception. Which is true?</p>
<p>I guess its pretty practical…most engineering classes I’ve taken have had a lab, etc. I guess it also depends on profs and depts (I had a comp sci prof who was really theoretical). I would lean towards practical in your essay.</p>
