<p>How much will URM status help in the admission process? I hear that Cornell is especially big on diversity as compared to alot of the other Ivy League schools.</p>
<p>By the way, I'm not hinging on the fact that I am black to get me into Cornell, I just want to know if its something they take into consideration, to what degree or if it's a raceblind application process.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>They will consider your URM status. And based on your other thread, you seem to have a decent chance. Just keep up with your GPA and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>It will help immensely. Based on my user name, you can gets which URM category I fall in. Also be sure to seize the great internship opportunities designed for URM’s that are available over the summer. Shocking what exists depending on what field you’re looking to go into</p>
