<p>Questions about getting into the colleges at Cornell: Do the state supported colleges give preference to NY state residents? Can you apply to either Human Ecology or Life Sciences but undecided as far as a specific major? If you must indicate a major does that affect your chances? Thanks!</p>
<p>Do the state supported colleges give preference to NY state residents? No. </p>
<p>Can you apply to either Human Ecology or Life Sciences but undecided as far as a specific major? Not sure how the new idea of applying to more than one college will work. Ask admission for a clear answer. </p>
<p>If you must indicate a major does that affect your chances? I say no. If you cant get in applying for the major you're interested in, how would your application reflect your interest in something totally different (interest is a key factor admissions looks for).</p>
