<p>I'm probably going to apply to Cornell.(ED)So I have to finish the essays as soon as possible.I know that Cornell accepts the essay topics of Commonapp,however,does cornell also have its own essay topics?and an optional essay,which is not necessary?</p>
<p>No cornell does not have its own application or an optional essay. The only things you have to do for cornell specifically are the common app questions and one or two more essays depending whether you do the primary/alternate option.</p>
<p>cornell itself uses the common application, and each cornell college has a supplemental question that you HAVE to answer</p>
<p>what i learned applying to colleges way back when–if it says OPTIONAL just do it.</p>
