Hey, I too am planning to visit in March weekend as mentioned in the offer letter. Actually I really want to work with Prof. Abruna. Also, Prof. Coates' work involving polymers is of great interest to me. From what I have come to know about the place, yes the winter there is too harsh and that is a bit cringing for me. I am not at all aware of what sort of accommodation I will be taking, though on-campus one would be my preference. I am planning to talk to a minimum of 5 professors whose work I can relate to my interests though till now I haven't gone through the publications of most of them. Questions, I haven't really thought of much yet but most probably they would be kind of general and interaction with their graduate students can also help in this regard. Okay, I was wondering what if we do not get the advisor of our choice ? Also, have you made up your mind to go to Cornell or, yet waiting for admits from other universities?

Hey guys! As far as I'm concerned, application season is over for me now (thankfully!), and at this point, I think its very likely that I will accept Cornell's offer, and I am curious if anyone else on this forum is seriously considering Cornell. So like the other program specific threads, I am curious about your thoughts/plans on any of the following questions: 1. Are you going to visit Cornell, and if so, which weekend? 2. Is Cornell one of your top choices? 3. What do you see as the pros and cons of the program and the surrounding Ithaca area? 4. Which PIs do you think are most famous/well-regarded OR which PIs would you be interested in working for? Please feel free to share any additional thoughts !
