<p>I plan on applying both to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and College of Arts and Sciences. My question is which should be my first choice?</p>
<p>I am a New York State resident interested in either biology or economics. I know both have strong programs in each. I also realize that CALS would be cheaper, but after recieving aid would there be a real difference (roughly $20,000 EFTA)? Also, does the CALS fall behind CAS in terms of credibility when applying to grad school and workforce?</p>
<p>Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any insight you can provide!</p>
<p>As a side note, when I send my scores from the college board, am I required to send all tests (SAT I and IIs) or just the IIs if I plan to submit my ACT. My ACTs are substantially higher that my SATs and I must submit the SAT IIs, but Cornell does not allow score choice. What should I do?</p>
<p>You have no choice but to send in all of your SAT scores. You can´t just send in SAT IIs.</p>
<p>If you are interested in Econ and Bio, I would apply to A&S and double major.</p>
<p>AEM is substantially different from Econ, so I would carefully compare the programs to make sure you understand the differences. Biology will basically be the same in both colleges. If you’re into the liberal arts curriculum, I would advise CAS as well. </p>
<p>The tuition difference is significant depending on your family situation. I’m a NYS resident, but going to CAS didn’t increase how much my parents had to pay; it only increased the amount of aid I received. So if your parents expected contribution is higher than the CALS tuition cost, yes being a NYS resident will help.</p>
