Hi! I am taking Ethan's advice on the Cornell profile page and choosing the Cornell prompts that best fit my personal statement and statement of perspective, but I had a few questions.
I think my statement of perspective fits the Ezra Cornell "any person...any study" prompt. But, do I have to touch on the quote at all in my essay? Do I have to reference it explicitly?
Is it okay to use the fourth blank-cheque prompt for my personal statement ("anything else you would like the committee to know about you.."), but then put it first in the PDF I submit to Cornell? Will it look low-effort if I'm not addressing a prompt specifically? None of the other prompts really fit my personal statement.
Thank you so much for your help!

No to both. I was admitted last cycle.
