If applying to Cornell, don't be afraid to list Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs) as High School Activities -- Admissions likes that.
If you're interested in talking with an Alliance member - write to Megan -- M-Duffy@cornellcollege.edu. She would love to hear from you and she can also put you in contact with any of our executive council members.
If you're interested in being hosted by an Alliance member, email an Admissions Counselor or Sharon Grice -- sgrice@cornellcollege.edu -- to set up a campus visit. For more information regarding the college -- check out Cornell's Admissions page.
