19 incredibly impressive students at Cornell

Nearly 15,000 students attend Cornell University, an Ivy League college set against the rolling hills and gorges of Ithaca, New York.

Getting in is no easy feat; just 15% of applicants are accepted, and a great majority graduated in the top 10% of their high-school classes.

We sought the help of Cornell's public-affairs office to track down the best and brightest students.
