<p>Okay so I'm in the middle of the Cornell supplement for CAS, and I'm wondering whether we should be focusing more or ourselves or on Cornell. Because I've been doing half and half, but it's hard to talk about how Cornell would help me further intellectual interests. I've talked about their faculty, a little about their research/abroad programs, but it always seems sort of fake. Advice would be helpful please!</p>
<p>Use a 3:1 (Talking about yourself) : (Talking about the school).
I talked about my development of my interest and types of things I did in that field.
Gave examples of those types of work.
Then at the end, relate it in how you would use Cornell's facilities to "Continue" that study. The school does not need to know about itself, it may not seem fake, but it will surely be boring to hear over and over again.</p>
