In your experience, how has the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management helped you solve real-world problems through innovation and global research Can you share specific projects you have created? #Spring25
Hi, my name is Neriah, and I am a rising first-year student at the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. I am passionate about innovation, financial literacy, and fashion business/marketing, with an interest in tech and engineered solutions. I aim to use my major, Applied Economics and Management, to innovate global platforms of economic empowerment for marginalized creators and entrepreneurs. I would greatly appreciate gaining insights from a Cornell Dyson student, alumnus, or economics major who has innovated or worked on projects addressing key issues such as fashion sustainability, economic inclusion, or other challenges in the business world, especially those incorporating tech and engineered solutions. Any perspectives or advice would be incredibly valuable as I begin my journey at Cornell. Warmly, Neriah #Spring25
What are Ivy Leagues looking for in terms of grades/essays?
I am a 11th grader, currently 16 years old. I am interested in architecture and hope to go to Cornell. I recently opened an architecture club and I have around a 3.8 GPA. I have only taken 1 Honors and 1 AP class. For my senior year, I am planning on taking 2 college classes and 2 APs. What can I do to improve my profile? Should I focus on my leadership / community roles or more on my grades??
I want to know what I can do to get into Cornell university veterinarian school and find a good high school. What I should volunteer for? What type of high school I should go to and how to get a scholarship to go there (we're low on money)? I want to start figuring this all out now so I have time to prepare
I want help on giving me some options for what I should do and what could help my situation so I can figure out what to do in the future so I can be prepared
What Can You Include in Your College Resume/ Essay to Set Yourself Apart
So I am wanting to apply to several colleges, with my aspiration being to enter Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Science to study entomology. The issue for me is that, though I have good grades, I will have over 1,500 hours of volunteer/intern experience working with animals/ insects, and am participating in a summer program this summer (the summer prior to my senior year) I am unsure of what else I can participate in to set myself apart further from other candidates. For further context, I am going to enter my senior year this summer so I have relatively limited time to add things on and live in central Georgia. Any information would be extremely helpful! #applications #internships #college #gpa #Cornell-University
