藤校中录取率“最高的大学”--康奈尔大学

 

Cornell quickly teaches you that you don’t. And I think it’s a beautiful struggle we have as human beings wanting to know so much about the world around us, to be hungry for knowledge.

 

来到这里，有时你认为你什么都知道。

 

康奈尔大学很快就告诉你，你还有很多不知道的。我认为这是一场美丽的斗争，在这里我们充满了对周围世界的了解以及对知识的渴望。这是康奈尔的学长曾经的分享。

 

康奈尔大学(Cornell)创立于1865年，坐落于美国纽约州的伊萨卡，湖光山色，四季风景如画，林间小路上随意的一瞥也是一幅画。它是世界顶级的私立研究型大学，著名的常青藤联盟的成员。截止2017年，共有56位康奈尔大学的校友和研究人员获得诺贝尔奖，在全球高校中列第十二位，居全美第十位。2018年在USNews美国大学综合排行榜上位列14名。

Access and affordability are extremely important to us, as are diversity and inclusion. Our admission process is highly individualized, and we spend lots of time evaluating whether you’ll be a good fit for the culture and philosophy of our university.

Students also frequently ask us what we are looking for in the application essays they submit. Here are tips to consider:

 

Tip #1: Give careful thought to the questions asked, but don’t try to write the answers that you think we want to hear; give us the answers that tell us about you.

 

Tip #2: In your essay, help us understand your thoughts and feelings about something that is important to you. We are interested in the topic you choose, how you develop your idea, and how well you express yourself.
