<p>I am writing supplements for my ED/EA universities. I did not have that much problem writing other universities like UMich and UIUC, but Cornell supplements are giving me a HUGE TROUBLE. Their websites are really crappy (at least to me). I cannot find any useful "specific" information out of their websites; consequently, my essays are very superficial. </p>
<p>Any tips on getting specific information regarding CoE and CAS? (trust me, I went on their websites 100 times)</p>
<p>Also, I do not know how specific I should get in when describing how the "Specific resource" in CAS or CoE can help me. Any advice?</p>
<p>The Cornell writing prompts are really straight-forward. You’re not going to find anything on their website to “help” you - it has to come from you. Take a moment in time that revealed your interests - what makes you tick - what makes you think - what led you to apply to Cornell. What Cornell can offer you (not stuff you just find in a brochure or a website). Have you visited? Some tidbit from that visit or a class you attended can be a good way to express your desire to go to the university. cornell is looking for “fit” - probably more than any other university you’ve mentioned. Make a good case for that. And…don’t ask people here to read your essays or review your ideas. Go to your English teacher, your college counselor, your parents, a friend. It’s dangerous to get help from strangers.</p>
