CONGRATS ED! Current Cornellian- Ask QUESTIONS!

<p>mal3889: depends what you are talking. Hockey- obv. harvard, but lacross is probably princeton, but nothing like the yale-harvard football rivalry.</p>

<p>AnbuItachi: don't think 101 is easier than 207. You will do the same amount of work in both classes. 101 doesn't have a specific time labeled as "lab," but you still will have lab experiements. The orgo text depends on the professor so it's hard to say.</p>

<p>yep, I actually know what your screen name means.</p>

<p>Yea, they've toughened up Physics 101-102 dramatically from when I took it back in the day. It still sounds like less work than Physics 207-208 though.</p>

<p>Norcalguy, did you get a sense that med schools thought Cornell grades harder than other places, or did you not feel that? And I do want to say congrats and best of luck on what's to come.</p>

<p>Nope, not at all. Think about it though: they get former I-bankers, phD's, Fulbright Scholars, Peace Corps members, etc. That's who they save their "WOW!" for. No one's going to be impressed by my 3.9 at Cornell when many of their interviewees have accomplished much more impressive things. The girl sitting next to me during my 3-on-3 interview at Northwestern was an I-banker graduate from Penn. Now, she can say definitively that she's not into medicine for the money ;)</p>

<p>Don't worry about it. Cornell students do awesomely. I have met a ton of Cornellians on the interview trail. 3 out of 10 in my Columbia interview group and 4 out of 20 at Penn Med were from Cornell. That's representation.</p>

<p>Is it possible/easy/hard/ to get into HYS Law School as a Cornell undergrad?</p>

<p>I'm ILR Class of 2012 anyways</p>

<p>it's hard regardless of where you are an undergrad...</p>

<p>Yeah, it'll be hard from wherever you do undergrad, but ILR is a good start.</p>

<p>Is it easier to get into cornell law if you are an undergrad at cornell as opposed to another school?</p>

<p>Also, is CAS or ILR better prep for law school?</p>

<p>do med school take certain college credits or are there no "APs" for med school?</p>

<p>Since you learn 4 weeks of college material in 1 week in med school, you can't replace med school classes with college classes. Taking biochem, histology, genetics, or anatomy & physiology at Cornell might help because you'll have to retake them in med school.</p>
