How can I get into Cornell University and what are my chances?

Give it some time. Many students are homesick in the beginning. Realize that thesis part of growing up and that you are not alone.

Try to focus on the opportunities and experiences (as well as the class work) that you are fortunate enough to have at college. Also know that your school's student health center has counseling services if you feel your need some serious support. If you are still feeling blue in six weeks, then you can consider options.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
