Past program participants said this about Consider Cornell: Explore:

two individuals looking at their laptop screens and discussing the content

“I found all the sessions and panelists to be very interactive and insightful. They touched on all the important topics and questions you should ask yourself prior to applying to graduate school. The way the whole experience is designed is super fun and useful.”
“I enjoyed that a lot of the perspectives and advice were general to all/most universities instead of specific to Cornell. I really appreciated having insights from every part of the process that I wouldn’t otherwise have access to.”

“I found the program to be very accessible and very helpful in giving me an idea of how to prepare my application. I would definitely recommend it to someone interested in applying.”
“My favorite is the real-time Q&A chat box which makes me feel like my questions and needs are being attended to; at the same time, I’ve found a lot of people who have the same concerns as me. In addition, the Competitive 黑料社区 Application Workshop also gave me a lot of inspiration.”
“This program gave me a better idea of how collaborative and inclusive Cornell University is.”
“It was informative! I am ready for Grad school now!”
