Student Stories

I’m a firm believer that in order to excel in something, you must be passionate about it. Combining my passion for science with the drive to help others motivated me to enroll in a Ph.D. program at Weill Cornell.

My favorite part of Weill Cornell is the sense of community within the graduate school and the research institutions –– students and faculty are genuinely interested in supporting one another.

Through the institutional collaboration between Weill Cornell and Memorial Sloan Kettering, I’m able to conduct my research at MSK surrounded by brilliant scientists. The opportunities are unmatched and the support systems I’ve built has helped me to take advantage of them.

I chose Weill Cornell for my graduate studies because not only was the research high level and cutting edge, but the community was collaborative and engaging.

"Weill Cornell offers a unique blend of opportunities. New York is a great place to be, with so many things to do during your free time."

"There is an incredible diversity of research at Weill Cornell, and all completely accessible to graduate students."

"As part of the Tri-Institutional campus, these few blocks are jam packed with scientists to collaborate with and bounce ideas off of."

"Faculty members are approachable and supportive. I feel comfortable dropping by their lab to ask for advice, lab-related or not."
