Cornell’s third pandemic-impacted admission cycle kicked off last Monday for Nov. 1 early decision deadline, with standardized testing continuing to be optional for prospective students.
In-person campus tours and information sessions resumed on Friday, Oct. 15 following a two-year hiatus.
Now, however, I desperately want my sister (and all other prospective college students) to have the same experience that I did. Although Cornell has done a great job providing online resources to these students, it doesn’t compare. Few things replace the awe-inspiring site of Fall Creek gorge or the first-hand beauty of the Arts Quad. Seeing a place like Statler Hall online is a far cry from the living, beating heart that makes Cornell wonderful.
This semester, the University’s Office of Visitor Relations is working diligently to ensure that prospective students will still be able to get a taste of Cornell before deciding where to spend their college years.
