Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I have been trying to decide between CALS and Human Ecology for the last two weeks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the importance each places on research. Between the two colleges, I have only found that Human Ecology strictly states on their site that they want to know about research interest. Is CALS focused on freshman research aswell? </p>

<p>In addition, I am interested in biology/ environmental science research, would it be better for me to apply to CALS since they have more environmental orientated majors or Human ecology with biology? I know that biology is a popular major at CALS, is it popular in Human Ecology as well? Would I be better off applying with something Environmental? Is that less popular?</p>

<p>Also....I know this is a stupid question, but I cant not ask....which is easier to get into? I know that both are more major oriented and look at essays..but where would I have a better chance?</p>

<p>what do you mean about hum ec wanting to know baout research interest........where do they wanna hear about it??</p>

<p>On the Human Ecology website, under the admissions section, there is a paragraph about how students who are interested in research should include it in their application. I am guessing it would be in the essay.</p>

<p>"There are a number of key pieces that the Admissions Committee considers when reviewing freshmen applications including</p>

<p>Fit/match with the College of Human Ecology and at least one of its programs "</p>

<p>If you think you fit more wit Hum Ec...apply. But I would say go for the one you think you are more interested in.</p>
