<p>How would you rank Cornell's colleges in terms of difficulty.</p>
<p>AAP( Architecture , Art, and Planning)
CAS( Arts and Science)
Hotel
CALS
Engineering
ILR
CHe</p>
<p>I don't know what you mean by "difficulty," but I'll just go ahead and pseudo-rank them from an academic perspective (where you can get in with the lowest scores) and whatever I remember from individual admission percentages.</p>
<p>Least selective at top, most selective at bottom:</p>
<p>Hotel
CALS
CHe
ILR
AAP
Engineering
CAS</p>
<p>I am referring to the difficulty of the schoolwork.</p>
<p>this really can't be done... it depends more on the major than the school and many majors are in multiple schools</p>
<p>^^^definitely agree with you</p>
<p>it's very hard to rank these colleges because it all depends on the person and what he/she is good at. for pre-meds, it can be very hard especially since you have to compete with others and you'll have to deal with courses like orgo. engineering is known to have brutal prelims. I, as an architecture major, know that a lot of people would have a hard time dealing with very conceptual/theoretical problems...plus you'd need a ton of persistence and hard work to go through 5 years of intense work</p>
<p>What are you the stereotypes about the colleges school work?</p>

<p>what do you mean by "most selective?" if you mean schools/colleges with the lowest acceptance rate, then you have it wrong.</p>
<p>no...he meant difficulty in terms of course work....which you really can't judge because as another poster said...it differs by major and some majors are found in two or more colleges</p>
<p>It definitely depends on major. Also, it also depends on how you define difficult. One may identify majors in AAP as the most difficult because they require the greatest time commitment, whereas another may select engineering due to the extreme rigor of the courses and the fact that a 50 on a prelim is usually a good thing. Yet still, another may believe history or english to be the most difficult because of the immense amount of reading and the fact that they likely have at least one paper due in any given week. So it all depends on how YOU look at it.</p>
<p>Overall though what college or major gets its reputation for being the "hardest".</p>
<p>reputation wise ... i'd def. say engineer school with all the problem sets.</p>
<p>but going with what everyone is saying, again, it really depends on the person. an engineer may find problem sets easy to do ... but writing essays very hard. i'd also say premeds have it hard too with orgo. and my archie friends literally make beds in their studios most of the nights.</p>
<p>I'm going to go ahead and say that it also...to an extent....depends on the class. Orgo was hard for me not because of the material...but the fact that everybody is trying to beat the mean...which is usually set to a B-. Some of my friends think classes that involve only paper writing are easier...while I have friends who prefer to have classes that only have exams/quizzes and writing.</p>
<p>I think it just depends on what you consider "difficult"</p>
<p>how about ilr? Is there a decent amount of writing?</p>
<p>can you major in English or something and not go to CAS and go to CALS instead? or not pick a major until you get to Cornell?</p>
<p>Stringa, I do not know about about writing but I have heard that ILR stands for I Love Reading..lol</p>
