<p>for the why cornell essay: the prompt says:
Describe your intellectual interests, their evolution, and what makes them exciting to you. Tell us how you will utilize the academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences to further explore your interests, intended major, or field of study.</p>
<p>So for this essay, i need to focus on academics right. Should i also include what i can bring to the campus life?</p>
<p>I think that it’s about how Cornell can bring for you, not what you can bring to the campus… that’s what I thought it was…</p>
<p>I mainly focused on the academic components.</p>
<p>I mentioned both. For example, I wrote about specific academic programs, but I also wrote about wanting to join the Cornell Daily Sun (which tied in to my interest in English and journalism). It’s kind of funny how I never even pursued anything I wrote about in that essay, lol.</p>
