What is one piece of advice or something you wish you knew when you were applying? (Lauren Noll (lmq5))

When I was applying to Cornell, I wish someone gave me the confidence that I could break out of the stereotypes put around me that I could not make it at an Ivy League school. Coming from a small town with low test scores, I almost did not apply and doubted my acceptance. I was very nervous to arrive here, but through dedication and opportunities to break out of my shell, I really cannot picture myself going anywhere else.
