The Telluride House at Cornell is now accepting applications for the 2009-2010 academic year. We invite anyone who will or who plans to be a full-time student at Cornell next year to apply this Fall.
The application to the Telluride House is designed to be challenging but not intimidating. It consists of several essays and an interview — Telephone interviews are possible — and is designed to allow candidates to show what they have to offer in their own terms. The House has accepted members as much for their artistic portfolios as for their essays and interviews.
We prefer applicants who plan to live in the House for more than one year. We encourage you to contact our Preferment Committee (cbta.apply@telluridassociation.org) about House events you would like to attend or for any other information regarding the House or the application process.
Below you can find two applications: One for current Cornell undergraduates, current or future graduate students, and transfer students, the other for secondary school students currently applying for undergraduate studies at Cornell. Students who have previously participated in Telluride or Deep Springs programs should obtain specific instructions from the Preferment Committee.
Applications for current or future Cornell students are due Friday, October 3, 2008. On October 10 or 11, some applicants will be invited to participate in an interview either by phone or at the Telluride House before October 23. Final decisions will be available by the end of October in time for applicants to decide whether or not to apply to Cornell early decision if they are not yet students there.
We prefer email submissions in a single attached document to cbta.apply@tellurideassociation.org and telluride@tellurideassociation.org. If mailing, please postmark several days before the due date. The House’s mailing address is Telluride House, attn: PreferCom, 217 West Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14850.
