The Ivy League Connection is a program that students can't even understand how great it is until they experience the opportunity themselves. The ILC is a chance for students to be an adult, talk to adults in college settings, and really start prying into their futures. Everyone can take college tours, but not everyone can talk to school alumni and current students. Those with monetary wealth can go to elite summer programs at Ivy League schools, but many students can't. The Ivy League Connection makes that possible for students like me. Thank you.
Without
the Ivy League Connection, I never would have known what kind of college I was
looking for. I only understood what I needed after this experience. (I'm
looking for colleges near cities, where students can intern and get job
experience while they're in school. It's a bit more complicated than that, but
that's the general idea.)
The
experience at Cornell University hopefully will not just be limited to
benefiting me. Now I can return to my school, talk to my friends, and be able
to help them figure out their college future. I also have so many contacts now,
from many different schools, whether they are graduates or current students.
All these people want to help high school students, and now they can help other
people other than me. I've learned what it sounds like to be surrounded by
students who want to learn, and now I can hopefully try to make that
environment more present at my high school.
