<p>Anybody whos aplying to Cornell... is it just me or is the common app writing sample question and the Cornell supplement writing question almost identicle? So we need to write two essays on essentially why Cornell?</p>
<p>One is why transfer, and the other is why Cornell. It's the same with one of the Penn questions. sigh.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply... that seems a little bit redundant...</p>
<p>I agree but you could state why you want to transfer overall as a general reason and why Cornell is the 'best' fit for you.</p>
<p>It's annoying as hell. The student has to dedicate even more time to writing another essay, the admissions officer has to read thousands more essays on the same exact topic.</p>
