What happens on Cornell's Admitted Students Day?

Maybe I'm looking ahead a little bit, but I'm just dreaming of getting accepted to Cornell. What will Admitted Students Day be like? Has anyone here been to one before? What kinds of activities or events do they have? Is it worth attending?

It's always fun to look to the future and dream about what it will look like!

Attending an Admitted Students Day can be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the college and determine if it's the right fit for you. Typically, these events include a variety of activities designed to give you a sense of what life at Cornell would be like.

These activities typically include campus tours— sometimes led by current students— and presentations on academic programs. You might have the opportunity to meet and speak with professors or take part in sample lectures. Sometimes Cornell invites representatives from various academic departments or programs to introduce and discuss their offerings. There will often also be information sessions on topics like housing, dining, financial aid, and student support services. These can help you understand what resources are available to you and what you can expect in terms of campus life.

Another key aspect of Admitted Students Day events is the chance to connect with future classmates. There might be social events or activities designed to help admitted students get to know each other.

Whether it's worth attending can depend on your personal circumstances. If you are still deciding between Cornell and another school, the experience could potentially provide valuable insight to help make that decision. Even if you're sure Cornell is for you, the opportunity to preview your life there, ask any questions, and possibly meet future classmates can be worthwhile.

Please confirm event schedules and offerings with Cornell directly as events can vary year over year and some activities might be unique to certain departments or programs. Also, keep in mind that in-line with ongoing safety measures, online alternatives might be available for those who cannot or choose not to travel.
