Cornell's resources, curriculum, and community in addition to the program's unmatched rigor cannot be topped at any other school or program.

Why did you choose Cornell and AAP?

I chose Cornell and AAP because I have been passionate about architecture for years, and I immediately felt attached to the AAP program at Cornell during my first campus visit. Its resources, curriculum, and community in addition to the program's unmatched rigor cannot be topped at any other school or program, and I've heard so many amazing stories about it!

What are your extracurricular interests and how have you incorporated them into your college life?

Painting, skiing, kickboxing, and community service.

What do you hope to accomplish during your time at AAP and after graduation?

I hope that by graduation in 2025, I have had numerous successful projects, a job, a good portfolio, and a strong connection to the AAP community.
