<p>I have no idea how to answer "tell us how you will utilize the academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences to further explore your interests, intended major, or field of study".</p>
<p>What are they expecting? something like "i hope to gain __ skill from my degree"??</p>
<p>I don't think they are exactly looking for what "skills" you might attain from your degree. i think they are looking for how your academic interests have evolved and what areas you might pursue at Cornell to enhance or further those interests--that could potentially be through academics or even outside activities. It's a pretty open ended question so there really isn't a prescription for what they are looking for. Obviously that's what makes it hard. Sorry that probably doesn't help much.</p>
<p>u should google stuff about cornell. Like i wrote about nanotech, and it turns out that it fits 100% with cornell. Google like.........Cornell economics lol i duno</p>
