<p>I am in!!</p>
<p>my questions are:
approximately how many applicants do they accept each year?</p>
<p>what is special about cornell's college of AAP? why should i go there?
i'm trying to find reasons to choose cornell despite its severe wheather(which i'm not sure if i can stand) over UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>help me out! thankss!</p>
<p>i wouldnt say ithaca has severe weather...its just cold</p>
<p>and which program in AAP are you in?</p>
<p>I am doing fine arts.</p>
<p>Yeah! I Got In! :d I Can't Believe It!!!!!</p>
<p>I actually despise the cold. Im from florida.
but what im really worried about is the fin aid.</p>
<p>i live in california. ;)
so anyone wanna tell me all about AAP and how awsome it actually is? cus i don't know a lot..</p>
<p>on april 7th, there is going to be an admitted students chat room open where current AAP students answer all of your questions (i think its from 7pm to 11pm). you should ask them there. im in aap for architecture, but i dont know a lot about fine arts. for my friends who are in it, they seem to absolutely love it</p>
<p>p.s. i think this years' fine arts class (c/o 2011) is 35 or something, but im not entirely sure</p>
<p>hey laurstar! are they going to send us an e-mail about this chat thing? I'd love to partcipate!</p>
<p>you will probably get an email about it. from what i remember, after everyone finds out about admissions in april, you get inundated with [waht seems like] hundreds of letters and emails. keep an eye out for it...and if you still dont get information about the chat, let me know</p>
<p>PLEASE don't turn down an incredible opportunity at an incredible school for some superficial reason that it is cold. That's why we have warm clothes and why we have these new fandangled heaters in buildings. There will be times you're sweating outside in 10 degree weather.</p>
<p>Cornell also has warm summer days when you first get there (or all summer if you're lucky enough to stay there) that turn into beautiful autumn days and then the palpable energy of that first warm day of spring when EVERYBODY is outside. It inspires even the most cynical Floridian and Californian to admit it's like nothing they get back home because they take that warmth for granted. I lived with a guy from Los Angeles and was good friends with another from Tampa - they loved it.</p>
<p>Seriously - the waterfalls, the eclectic city... think of how many people around the world live happily in colder climates - Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Tibet without the occupation... some of the highest qualities of life in all the world. I think you can handle it. Americans just like to complain when things aren't perfectly physically comfortable for them.</p>
<p>Cornell's AAP program is also one of the most respected in the country. I wasn't in it, but I can tell you you will be working your butt off day and night. My impression from knowing AAP students is that it is a very close community of students because of the late night sessions trying to get projects done.</p>
<p>Congratulations on getting in!</p>
<p>thanks for the input everyone. i tried searching cus i wanted to know how prestigious of an "art school" Cornell can be for art majors, but that didn't really help. my mom suggested that Cornell's art programs could be not well-known cus of its small size....hope that's not true. i am looking for reasons to choose Cornell AAP over art colleges like RISD. some people go "why on earth would you want to go to Cornell if you want to major in art? art colleges know what they're doing.. Cornell is an ivy school!" </p>
<p>i would love to go to Cornell, but i just dont want to do what i love at a great school and not get recognized when, say, trying to get a job or sumthing. i really don't know much about Cornell's AAP... i probably should attend that chat room. :)</p>
<p>Have you decided? D's also AAP/art acceptee...</p>
<p>I don't know about the other fine arts programs, but Cornell Architecture is often cited as number 1 in the nation, even above "Arts Schools."</p>
<p>And I seriously doubt a school with the number 1 architecture program sucks at the other fine arts programs</p>
