<p>So my counseler contacted a Cornell alumnus for me who lives in my town. He called me and said he wanted to meet me, and then "get me started on Cornell". Although he said this would be informal, is there anything I should prepare or look out for? Thanks.</p>
<p>Prepare a sets of questions to ask to show that you have thought this “Cornell thing” through, and also make sure to get his business card at the end of it because you might need to contact him again in the future for advice.</p>
