144

<p>wow college is so cool they would bring someone like that to talk at cornell</p>

145

<p>For the Symphony/Chamber Orchestra auditions, what is mainly tested for the viola? Also, if you want to do individual instruction for viola and piano, what do they test? Essentially, what are their expectations for auditions on viola and piano?</p>

146

<p>I do not play viola, so I don't know what they require in Orchestra auditions. I guess you'll find out.</p>

<p>For individual instruction without credit, all you have to do is find a teacher, and convince him you will be a good student. (you can do this if trying a new instrument, or if you suck) For credit instruction, there isn't an explicit test I don't think. If you're decent as in you've been playing for several years, and you know your instrument well, you're good enough for credit lessons. It's not like it's an incredibly selective process...I think they just want to make sure more advanced students don't get screwed on getting lessons.</p>

147

<p>if u only take 5 classes a semester when do u take electvies?
if your in a specilized program like Arch, ILR and they have set classes when do u take electives?</p>

148

<p>Take them whenever you want. Nobody said you have to take 5 per semester. Also, I'm not sure that there are 5 classes each semester you need to take for those special programs. There might only be 3 or 4 sometimes, which would mean you would have room for electives there.</p>

<p>It's interesting how in HS "elective" meant band or art or something, and here it could be a "more academic" course like "American History," now that we have specialized fields of study. God I love college.</p>

149

<p>So, how do you get a hold of a music teacher for individual instruction? Also, how many semesters of PE credit is required?</p>

150

<p>Hey lucifer11287, or sparticus, or any cornell student:</p>

<p>I noticed lucifer said you can test out of 192 (Multivariable).
Say I've taken Differential Equations and Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calc already--can I theoretically test out of them (or at least one of them?)</p>

151

<p>sparticus800: i heard the scenery is amazingly beautiful at cornell with birds, waterfalls etc. how do you rate cornell's scenery"?</p>

152

<p>off the charts in terms of scenery. I challenge you to find a more naturally picturesque campus. Architecture wise cornell isn't quite at the level of places like princeton and duke, but in terms of scenery it blows them away with things like waterfalls[/url</a>] between the freshmen dorms and central campus, stone bridges like [url=<a href="http://www.vet.cornell.edu/students/b_lake.gif%5Dthis">http://www.vet.cornell.edu/students/b_lake.gif]this</a> one at the top of beebe lake, beebe</a> lake itself, views of lake</a> cayuga, the</a> slope right below the libraries in the middle of campus, the gorges[/url</a>] themselves, the [url=<a href="http://www.explore.cornell.edu/tour_nature/img/beebelake02.jpg%5Dfall">http://www.explore.cornell.edu/tour_nature/img/beebelake02.jpg]fall</a> foliage, and last but certainly not least the incredible [sunsets[/url</a>] you can watch from the johnson museum in on central campus. (garunteed to make your date melt ;))</p>

<p>This is right up your alley guys: <a href="http://www.explore.cornell.edu/scene.cfm?scene=Natural%20Beauty%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.explore.cornell.edu/scene.cfm?scene=Natural%20Beauty](&lt;a href="http://www.explore.cornell.edu/tour_landmarks/img/museum02.jpg%5Dsunsets%5B/url"&gt;http://www.explore.cornell.edu/tour_landmarks/img/museum02.jpg)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>However, despite not being the best in the country in this regard, cornell does have some beautiful</a> buildings.</p>

<p>Hope your mouths are watering all you ED Class of '10ers! Rounding up these pics sure reminded me of just one reason why I love cornell so much!</p>

153

<p>Here's another</a> gorgeous waterfall I pass at least twice everyday. (Once to class and once returning)</p>

154

<p>And for the record, images like this</a> one, as well as this picture of the A</a>. D. White Library help give cornell its "halls of ivy" reputation along with the rest of the ancient eight.</p>

155

<p>thank you for your info! it gives me a better image of cornell! i really want to apply for cornell in the future</p>

156

<p>Newyorker - if you took them at a college, you can try and get transfer credit for those classes. I'm not sure you can test out of any of them, but you CAN get transfer credit. You have to submit the syllabus of the course you took and do some other paperwork to get the credit, but if you can get out of all of those math classes it'd be worth it. Also, not sure about this, but I don't think you can have gotten HS credit for any classes you want to get transfer credit for.</p>

157

<p>I am taking them in high school...we have an advanced math department...it's allright. I'll speak on the first day to someone. LOL. No way i'm going thru this stuff again...</p>

158

<p>sparticus:</p>

<p>do you know by any chance if cornell is strong at hotel administration?</p>

159

<p>its the only school of its kind</p>

160

<p>there's actually several similar programs in the US. The only one i know off the top of my head is at Niagara University: <a href="http://www.niagara.edu/hospitality/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.niagara.edu/hospitality/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I'm not sure which other schools have similar programs, but i'd be surprised if Cornell wasn't #1 by a long shot.</p>
