While many Cornell applicants are put on a waitlist — supposedly with a chance of eventually getting accepted — the University accepted not one of the students offered a place on last year's list.

Graduate students from Cornell's College of Engineering welcomed 41 families to Olin Hall on Saturday for the University's third annual WOMEN event, an outreach program designed to give female high school students the opportunity to experience the study of engineering first-hand.
