[quote=Anonymous]My sibling went to Cornell and it changed her life. Like really changed her life. We were average middle class (one parent was a teacher and the other a sales person) and my sibling majored in economics and math at Cornell and went on to Wharton. We were instate for NY and my immigrant parents wouldn't let her apply anywhere very far so it was Columbia, NYU (where she got a full ride), Princeton and Cornell. She got into all of them except for Princeton but she really didn't want to go to a city school. She loved Cornell and is now living her dream.

There were a lot of kids there like this - great students from immigrant families who don't have connections and are unlikely to get into a small, liberal arts college. She was always very smart, very hard working, at the top of her class and involved in activities - but we sure didn't know how to play the college game nor was she involved in sports or had any connections. There are a million schools she could have applied to and attended but Cornell was within a few hours from home, absolutely beautiful and she loved the academic opportunities.

Cornell is a true gem.[/quote]
