I chose Cornell for its intense, but welcoming, academic environment, its diversity, and its reputation.
Why did you choose Cornell and AAP?
I chose Cornell for its intense, but welcoming, academic environment, its diversity, and its reputation as a top school of architecture. I was also drawn to the robust study abroad opportunities and facilities at AAP. Finally, the natural beauty of Ithaca and opportunities for running and outdoor activities increased my excitement.
What are your extracurricular interests and how have you incorporated them into your college life?
I enjoy running, hiking, reading, learning about history, and drawing.
What do you hope to accomplish during your time at AAP and after graduation?
I hope to hone my skills as a designer and use my expertise to improve the quality of life of others.
