I felt like the program had a very innovative nature, and would give me a lot of space to take risks and explore. 

Why did you choose Cornell and AAP?

I felt like the program had a very innovative nature, and would give me a lot of space to take risks and explore. I was also inspired by the incredibly talented students and staff.

I hope to create meaningful projects that will create change or help to solve issues such as poverty or global warming.
