Current Cornell A&S First-year Students
Current A&S first-years can apply to the Milstein Program by filling out the online application form by December 1st. In the application you will authorize the committee to review your first semester grades and will submit a short essay and video.
The director and faculty/staff selection committee will review applicants’ admission materials and first semester Cornell transcripts in the weeks following the deadline.
Only applicants accepted to the program will be notified during the winter break of your first year at Cornell.
Accepted students will need to enroll themselves in the First Year Project course (AS 1111) & MStudio (AS 3113) during the Add/Drop period. These courses are a required part of the Milstein Program curriculum.
High school seniors applying to Cornell
High school seniors who would like to be considered for the program should identify their interest by checking the Milstein Program box ☑ on the Common App when filling out their application for Cornell.
After checking the interest box, applicants should use the supplemental College of Arts and Sciences essay to explain how they are a good fit with the Milstein Program (along with a good fit for the College).
The director and selection committee will review application materials and a select group of applicants will be contacted in March and invited to submit a video essay.
Only those who make it to the second round video stage will be notified in the Spring.
