<p>If anyone is a Cornell students or knows someone or just knows any tips on getting into Cornell, could you please list some?</p>
<p>Be smart
Be passionate about your field of study
Be a recruited hockey player
Donate millions of dollars</p>
<p>I don't know what you want out of this post. Do you want tips about getting into college in general, tips about getting into cornell specifically?</p>
<p>It really is a dice throw at this time in higher education. You can only make sure you have the grades and the test scores, the extracurriculars, the leadership, the community involvement, and passionate essays, and wait to see if the dice were rolled in your favor.</p>
<p>Cornell specifically, if you are applying to HumEc, ILR, Hotel, CALS, AAP, care more about fit and passion more so than anything else. Those schools will let a few "bad" grades slip by, or a lower test score, as long as you can demonstrate how passionate you are about your field of study. If you can tell them how being in their school will give you the tools, knowledge, and experience to achieve your dreams (which should be in line with the mission of the colleges) you stand a better chance than a 4.0, 2400 student with no demonstrable passion.</p>
<p>yea i was looking for tips on getting into Cornell specifically into the College of Human Ecology. here is some of my information:</p>

<p>I'm in The Academy of International Studies at my school and I'm taking a lot of Honors Global Seminars (like Global cultures, minority studies, global issues, foreign film) along with AP French Language and AP Psychology (and next year I'm planning to take AP Comparitive Government, AP French Lit, and AP Art History) and then the basic core classes </p>

I've been a childrens soccer coach for 2 years

I'm on the Academy of International Studies Planning Committee
I'm on the Academy of International Studies Board (where only 4 students got to be on it and theres like 20 adults)
((as you can see I do a lot with children which I hope will look good on my app since all of my hours are geared toward one subject---helping people)))</p>
<p>i've been to summer camps like NC State Design camp (2 summers), Savannah College of Art and Design Summer Camp (1 summer), and Minnesota College of Art and Design Summer Camp (1 summer)</p>
<p>I'm currently working at Barnes and Noble Bookstore </p>
<p>Please tell me what you think!!</p>
<p>You need to take your SAT I and SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>yes, I'm planning on taking my SAT I in the spring and my SAT Subject Tests in the spring as well. I hope my extra curriculars really show that I'm extremely passionate about helping other people and also apparel design, and that my grades are good enough!!</p>
<p>Pay attention to the admission requirements. <a href="https://admissions.cornell.edu/forms/FreshmanRequirementsChart.pdf%5B/url%5D">https://admissions.cornell.edu/forms/FreshmanRequirementsChart.pdf</a></p>
<p>Also, since you are interested in Fiber Science and Apparel Design, you will need to submit a design index and it is highly recommended that you submit a portfolio. Start thinking about that in advance. Good luck!</p>
<p>ive started my portoflio but it's sometimes really hard because I like to do a lot of collages but I want to show what else I can do and such but it's hard thinking of stuff lol</p>
<p>i had friends apply to fashion schools and when they were stuck on portfolio ideas, they went to their local drugstore or borders and literally bought every single fashion magazine off of the shelf and became inspired in that way. another way to get ideas: look at the challenges on project runway and design something that you would make if you were on the show. is there any work you can use (or even redo) from your summer camps? good luck!</p>
