Undergraduate Admissions

"I chose Cornell AAP because their organizations interest me — especially CUSD, Design Connect, and NOMAS — since I am very passionate about sustainability and being able to apply what I learn directly into communities via local projects. "

"Cornell's focus on social justice plus the university-wide emphasis on bridging disciplinary divides were both important factors for me in choosing to come to AAP. "

"The facilities in AAP are amazing and provide a great atmosphere to work in. "

"I care about land equity, justice, and security for the poor and marginalized, and I wanted to go into a field that stressed theory and practice.  "

"I envision Cornell's B.F.A. program to give me both the depth to expand on the things I already know and the breadth to explore subjects within and even beyond the realm of art. "

"From exploring research opportunities with Professor Campanella during office hours to chowing down on pad thai with Professor Booth, the interactions that I've enjoyed with faculty thus far have been numerous, informative, and just plain fun. "

"AAP is a place where science and art merge, and I can learn the essence of Western culture — and the fusion of this culture with contemporary technology. "

"Diversity in all aspects is represented in the AAP student body, and we constantly explore the depths of our experiences in the classroom. "

"The ability for me to study at Cornell and build relationships with the great thinkers there would be an incredible opportunity. It will support me on my path to make a future impact in the world. "
