<p>Hey,
I was just wondering- does anyone know if communications is a popular or underrepresented major? does anyone know how many kids apply and how many get in? thanks</p>
<p>My daughter is a comm major and so is one of her roommates. She is a junior and loves it. I have no idea how many apply specifically for this major or how many get in but it seems to be a little easier getting into this than it is becoming an AEM major (Applied Economics & Marketing), which is my daughter’s minor.</p>
<p>Comm is one of the “Big 4” majors in CALS.</p>
<p>still trying to figure out (two years later) why comm at Cornell is in CALS…weird</p>
<p>I’m certain that communications, along side sociology and anthropology majors come with the least demanding curriculum in the entire school. Not everyone can be technically, scientifically, or mathematically gifted, therefore these less demanding majors allow some of the more “ordinary” thinkers make it through the prestigeous schools. A communications major can definitely take you places, so long as you have little thirst for a scholastic challenge, yet a deep passion for gossip. You may become the next Howard Stern- a noteworthy communications major. Pretty respectable rep he’s got.</p>
