Congratulations on your admission to Cornell University!

Now that you have received an offer of admission to Cornell University, you have an important, and maybe even difficult, decision to make. We recognize that there are many factors you will be considering as you choose the next step in your educational career and we want to help you make a well-informed choice about enrolling at Cornell. We believe that in order to do that, you will want to experience (virtually, of course) some of what Cornell and Ithaca have to offer you.

This is your opportunity to find out more about us from the comfort of your own space.

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University’s Ithaca campus is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ? (the Cayuga Nation).

The Gayogo̱hó:nǫ? are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. Th Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New Yourk state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó:nǫ? people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
