Then we will meet there pretty soon!Thanks. Yeah, looks like they don't have any more hosts right now. I'll be there on 1/27, too!
I figured it would overlap some but the profile is very long and in depth. Im really glad my parents helped me with it or it would have taken me a lifetime to figure it all out haha. I just submitted mine. Now I guess we wait until they get through everything.
You have to either fax, email, or mail copies of them to their financial aid office ^_^
I'd like to know too! I'm guessing its fairly casual since there's no interview.
I contacted Jennifer Mailey about this, and she said that most people go for business casual.
Yeah I did the same... was going to go in a suit and tie but it sounds like it's more casual so I didn't want to stick out and be overdressed
. We will be doing activities all day so I am guessing it would be important to be comfortable (and warm!) .
Hope you made it! I flew into Rochester and drove to Ithaca. The drive wasn't bad. It's a little late, now, though.My flight to Ithaca tonight got cancelled, twice
Bad idea to fly there...
I was in the same situation! I wish I'd known you were there. I ended up renting a car with a few other people and driving to Ithaca from Newark. Did you make it?

Should have thought this through before booking my flight...
Do tell! Im going to the one in late February but reading this makes me really excited!
All I have to say is that I did NOT want to go home. I had never been to Cornell. I have been in a debate about UC Davis and Cornell (and a few other options, but I am guessing I will end up at one of these schools) and at this point I am torn. I LOOOOVED PBL. It matched my learning style perfectly--it's exactly what I usually do on top of my regular classes, but integrated into the curriculum. The faculty and staff were amazing. I LOVED Ithaca. My stay and visit to Cornell were so much fun! I literally refused to pack my bags all night and then realized I needed to as if I didn't I would miss my plane. My family has been fighting for me to choose UCD (I'm from CA) and I was hoping for some clarity and it went in a direction I was not expecting it to. I loved the students, both current and prospective. I simply felt at home and that I belonged there. It was wonderful
. If you have specific questions, let me know/PM me .

I think that a current student could explain it better. I'm hoping someone chimes in.
Ah! Now I'm even more excited to go!All I have to say is that I did NOT want to go home. I had never been to Cornell.

Trying to get all the financial aid info done on time, ignoring that our military move still isn't able to be scheduled and I'm maybe moving the day before I have to be in Ithaca.

i was under the impression that waivers only existed for undergrads filing. i'd lookk into it though, there are a conditions that mat take a while to prove so i just paid to make sure it was done by tomorrow
Call the financial aid office tomorrow. They are really helpful! Also, at the information session they said that anyone over 30 (or 30 and over, I can't remember) does not need to include parental information. I am not sure what the other exceptions are. I believe it might be required if you are under 30 as there was someone wh0 asked a similar question and they said the forms needed to be included, even though she was independent. I would call them, though.
Doesn't this need to be turned in by midnight tonight? Or am I misguided? I'm under 30 but I could have sworn at the info session they said parent info was only required for the health profession loan.
Well, it's up to you. I have not turned mine in yet. I am still working on it. Isn't it due on 2/1? If it is, you could call them and ask them first thing in the morning. It is due tomorrow if you want to make sure to have a financial aid packet before the April deadline, but you can still turn it in later.
And I don't know what is required if you are under 30 (since that does not apply to me).
In other words, if you are 100% sure you will be going to Cornell, I don't think there is as much of a rush. I think it might be more important for those of us who are undecided (like me).

I went to the small animal group, but it wasn't really focussed on that. It was more about the school and any questions we had. I am sure you could go to any of the groups and ask any questions you wanted. You could also switch rooms halfway through. I actually got a better idea of everything from the short sessions we had after the tutor session as the veterinarians who hosted those were from a variety of fields.
