Cornell University is a private Ivy League land-grant research university located in mainly Ithaca, New York. This university was founded in 1865. At its founding, only a few hundred students were enrolled. However, the college has grown exponentially since then; as of fall 2024, Cornell’s student body included over 16,000 undergraduate and nearly 11,000 graduate students. Cornell’s student body is diverse, with students from all 50 US states and 130 countries being represented. The college has 8 undergraduate colleges and 7 graduate schools located in its Ithaca campus. Beyond those, Cornell also boasts 3 satellite campuses: a medical school and Cornell Tech are located in New York City, and another branch of the medical school is located in Al Rayyan.
Like many other universities, Cornell takes a holistic approach when reviewing students’ applications. They have high standards for test scores and high school transcripts, but they also care deeply about intellectual potential, character, involvement in your community, your reasons for choosing Cornell, and your reasons for choosing the specific college or school you are applying to. Cornell values applicants who have challenged themselves in regard to academic matters, are passionate about learning, are honest ad open-minded, and have demonstrated involvement in their community through activities such as volunteering, extracurricular activities, working, research, leadership, family responsibilities, and more.
