<p>I'm wondering, if I put CALS as my alternate choice college, would they know it?
does it affect my chance of getting in if I put it as an altermate rather than a primary?
because I actually want college of art and science better, but I think I have a bigger chance at CALS...
any comments would be great, thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>bump, sorry anyone has any idea?</p>
<p>Yeah, what’s the deal with this alternate choice thing?</p>
<p>It almost seems like if you don’t get into Cornell thru this college, you get another chance to get in thru the alternate choice?</p>
<p>and then transfer next year
yeah.</p>
<p>the first college has the choice whether to flat out reject you or move you on to your second choice (which, keep in mind, doesnt happen that often). putting down a second choice doesnt necessarily guarantee a second chance at cornell. if the first college feels that you arent a fit a that school, but may be a better one at your second choice, then they will forward it.</p>
