<p>The language department strength is definitely a factor… is it true tha Williams has a shoddy one compared to Cornell’s?</p>
<p>But isn’t it true that if you’re a Human Ecology student, you cannot major/minor/concentrate outside of HumEc? Or is that just a myth?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A complete myth. Where did you hear that? As an ILR student I concentrated/minored in economics and inequality studies (and almost had a third concentration in international relations).</p>
<p>
</p>

<p>You would definitely be able to minor in Spanish and East Asian studies. </p>
<p>Or law and society. Or information science. Or entomology. Or education. Or applied economics. Or international relations. Or you get the idea.</p>
<p>Haha, I get the idea.</p>
<p>It looks like visitation days are going to be the deciding factor for me.
No pressure, right?</p>
<p>Well, not a complete myth, Chandler. You can’t major across any colleges except for a few select programs between Arts, Engineering, and AAP (I think.) Cayuga’s dead on about the minors, though.</p>
<p>Touche. Minors. Not majors. </p>
<p>But it doesn’t really make much of a difference when it comes to grad school/employers. What matters much more are the classes you take. I know a girl from ILR who ended up getting her PhD at Stanford in English. Needless to say, she didn’t major/minor/concentrate in English.</p>
<p>kat and Cayuga: Thank you! I didn’t know that before, and that definitely helps Cornell. I seriously don’t think I’ll be able to make a smart decision by May 1st. I mean, I’ll be at Cornell on the 17th and Williams on the 20th/morning of 21st. After that, I have less than 10 days to decide where I’ll be for four years of my life.
I think I might be getting nostalgia for waiting for admissions decisions. Okay, maybe not. At all.</p>
<p>Chandler</p>
<p>The answer to this question will be very telling:</p>
<p>Does the Williams section of this site have an entire (really long) thread dedicated just to you?</p>
<p>Ha, SVMMom, I was going to say that, too!</p>
<p>Oh SVMMom/pageturner, you two are too clever for me!</p>
<p>This thread is actually the best thing ever, and I assure you that I have been thinking about Cornell vs. Williams every waking moment of every day!</p>
<p>HOWEVER, spring break starts tomorrow and I’m so pumped because I’m thoroughly fed up with HS.
Cornell on the 17th!!!
I’m quite excited :)</p>
<p>Join the dark si-- I mean come to Williams, they have Tutorials. AND cookies. 
</p>
<p>haha sorry, I just randomly checked the Cornell board and saw that there was a very long thread dedicated to you. XP ehh I guess everything comes down to the visit; it’s like that for me too. I’m just waiting for the moment when I step on X school’s campus, take a class, and then have this divine indication telling me “THIS IS THE SCHOOL FOR YOU!!!”</p>
<p>…at least, that’s what I hope. :p</p>
<p>hahaha, limetime finally found the ChandlerBing thread :P</p>
<p>It’s pretty intense/awesome, isn’t it??
It’s making my job of deciding between the two schools way harder (in a good way) and the visits will be very important.</p>
<p>The divine indication would be pretty sweet, but it’s probably not going to happen</p>
<p>one can always hope
Oh, and just a warning, you MAY be flamed by Cornellians for supporting Williams.
Just saying ;)</p>
<p>awwwww don’t crush my dreams about that divine intervention. 
I’ll just hope and pray really hard, 'kay? </p>
<p>hahaha that’s okay, I can take their flames and raise them to a California-sized mountain fire. 
</p>
<p>…strange mood I am in today…</p>
<p>anyways good luck to both of us during this choosing process; we’ll need it. ;)</p>
<p>Haha, I hope it’ll come to me too!
I’m so excited for visitation days, you don’t even know.</p>
<p>Ooooh, well maybe not California, since Pomona’s there and you’re DEFINITELY (emphasis on the definitely) NOT going to Pomona.
:)</p>
<p>We will, it’ll be tough on both of us.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, Cornell alumni silently stare from the background, expressionless and with arms folded, waiting for Chandler and Limetime to finish their ode to Williams.</p>
<p>Totally kidding! Please carry on.</p>
<p>Heck Chandler. You’re making friends wherever you go.</p>
<p>More like an ode to Willell. That would be so awesome, to go to Williams and Cornell at the same time!</p>
<p>Psh, hopefully it’ll stay that way in college!</p>
<p>The more I agonize over this decision, the more I realize that it’s really, really impossible.
If only the Red Cow was a mascot…</p>
<p>hey bing what major are you doing?</p>
<p>Haha ChandlerBing, you know you’re awesome don’t you? :D</p>
<p>ResurgamBell: At Cornell I was accepted to the Human Bio, Health, and Society major at HumEc.
At Williams I would probably do some sort of combination of Bio, Spanish, and Chinese?</p>
<p>Ehh, I think you’re awesomer, since you’re not even done with junior year and already writing amazing essays…</p>
<p>chandlerbing, you make me smile (much like the tv character)</p>
<p>Good luck deciding… I really hope to see you on Cornell’s campus next fall though</p>
<p>Aww, thanks!
As you can see, I have today off and am therefore looking at websites related to both colleges (and CC, of course :))
Yes!!! I love the tv character, he was beyond awesome.</p>
<p>I’ll be at Cornell next Friday, hope the weather’s good.</p>
