Hi everyone! I’m currently a senior and interested in applying early decision to Cornell’s ILR school in November. I want to have a career as a corporate lawyer and think this school would be perfect for me. I have visited three times and taken several tours, and I love it more and more each time I see it! I’m just trying to see if I’m being realistic in my hopes to get in.
