<p>I want to study biology and I don't know whether I should choose CALS or CAS. Is there any difference between CALS and CAS if I want to study biology? Which one is easier to get into? I'm not sure if this is important, but I want to study in music also (not as a major though) Also I am international student living in the U.S. and out of state.</p>
<p>CAS has more room for flexibility to study music.</p>
<p>not really true if you don't intend to double major. CALS is more science oriented. CAS is a liberal arts college within cornell: the distribution will have you take courses in math science history etc in addition to your major.</p>
<p>Which school is easier to get in. CALS or CAS</p>
<p>I think CALS is but I'm not positive. There should be another post with the acceptance rates for the different programs.</p>
<p>I'm not really sure how admissions to CALS works for international students.</p>
<p>On one hand, there are a ton of people from instate applying for the reduced tuition. . .so they might see your an international student and try to diversify their primarily instate student population.</p>
<p>However, I'm not sure on this, but I think some of the state schools favor NYS students (like admit a certain large percentage from NY), because they are affiliated with NYS. . .but I'm not sure on this.</p>
<p>I'd say just apply to CAS, seeing it's not any more expensive for you. And if you really are intereted in music you could decide to double major later on.</p>
<p>you'll have a higher chance of getting into cornell if you apply cals</p>
