<p>What are the most popular freshman and sophomore electives? I know we can only take one a semester the first two years. - Either whatever people can get into, or some elect to take more core classes to get them out of the way for a more fun junior and senior year. It's often tough for freshmen to get into electives.</p>
<p>1.which professors are the best, which ones should you avoid taking thier class? DeVault rocks, Bell is nice (but his grading system is tough). Salvatore and Jakubson are best to avoid. Velleman for statistics is very nice but his exams are often very very difficult (hours and hours of studying and a self-made cheat-sheet often wont help you with his exams). Prof. Gold for labor law is known for having one of the most nororiously difficult classes on campus, but i hear it's very rewarding (i'm taking this class next semester). You'll just have to put up with all that ilr has to dish out. </p>
<p>2.how many classes should you take a semester? 5</p>
<p>3.will it be hard to pull off A's and B's in ILR? Depends on the teacher ... some can be A's with alot of work, and others it seems like no matter how hard i try or how many hours i work, i just can't get an A or B. </p>

<p>What types of internships are available through ILR? Is there a lot of competition to get into some of them?</p>
<p>there's a ton. career services will do a ton for you! there's always plenty of internships to go around. the alumni network is very strong, and it's never hard to get someting. I'll be in buffalo doing an internship for a judge in january. it was cake to get!</p>
<p>How as senior in high school and summer how should we pepare for ILR, should we relax or stay academically active?</p>
<p>try an interesting work experience to earn some money for the semester. Cornell is expensive ... i started out with $4,200 in my checking account and i currently have only $1500 for next semester. work or someting. relax and enjoy the summer, dont stress over academics, not yet at least.</p>
<p>has anybody anticpated thier concentration yet in ILR, i think im headed towards international and comparative labor</p>
<p>hey i'm an ILR class of 2010 from westchester ny. my aim is myrddinD49 i'm so excited i got in!</p>
<p>Awesome</p>
<p>abike: I think im gonna do Collective Bargaining, Labor Law, and Labor History.</p>
<p>You don't do formal concentrations within the major. You can focus your studies towards one aspect which you enjoy, but it is not relecfted in any way on your diploma. You can, however, do formal concentrations in a few (specific--maybe 10-15?) other MAJORS.</p>
<p>true it does not show up you just get a BS in ILR, but in your third and fourth years of ILR you do advanced course work in any of the six departments. So it isnt technically a concentration, more a focus of your studies, as ferrari said.</p>
<p>that's pretty much it, you dont have to pick any one dept. to study from for the BSILR. Some students do, and some dont. It's different for the masters and PhD programs though, here you have to pick a concentration.</p>
