<p>Not that I want to copy, I'm just curious about what you guys wrote for your essays for Cornell.</p>
<p>Just a vague explanation, like "I wrote about a pen that I'm holding," could work fine.</p>
<p>I'm finished with my essays and I like them!</p>
<p>Another question:
do you really have to include the names of professors and institutions of Cornell in your essays to show that you tried to research? It becomes too common if I add that because I'm pretty sure other million applicants already mentioned the same information in their essays.</p>
