<p>If someone wants to apply to Cornell University Human Ecology (SUNY) program, but they don't have all the class requirements, such as one class short to have priority consideration becuase there college has an atriculation agreement with Cornell University Human Ecology departement, should they still apply?
EC's, letter's of rec, essays, Has GPA above their minimum GPA (3.3) requirement, in honors program.</p>
<p>Everyone's help on this matter will be highly appreciated, Thanks :-).</p>
<p>ok I can't answer your question, but Cornell's endowed colleges are NOT SUNY, not affiliated with SUNY, SUNY = Binghamton, StonyBrook, Fredonia, Geneseo, and the half-dozen or so others, HumEc, ILR, and CALS are private contract colleges at Cornell which receive state funding and for the bazillionth time (that is a #) are not SUNY. Get that through your state school head before you apply there. Unless you were just kidding in which case feel free to ignore me or call me a witch with a B! :) </p>
<p>I hate how some CC's have this agreement with Cornell where they can get in with a certain GPA. I'm working my tushie off at NYU and will probably get rejected from HumEc, and you're applying with a 3.3 at at some CC and will undoubtedly get in. I am SO jealous of you! I suggest you email this question directly to admissions in case someone on this site gets it wrong and screws you over. With serious questions of importance, it's always better to ask admissions directly. Good luck!</p>
<p>Wait, stargazer, you're in LSP. Isn't that worse than a CC? I mean you are paying what? $100,000 for a two year curriculum where you could get the same education at a CC for like $1500? You're a joke.<br>
What distinguishes a CC student from people like you is that they are smart enough to know that they don't need to spend a "bazillionth time (that is a #)" the amount they are currently spending to get a perfectly fine education. These people with "3.3"s are actually working much harder than they did in the past. And for that matter, I say they have much more potential than someone like you who even after working hard can't even get into a real school (namely LSP).<br>
Perhaps you should reconsider the junk that spews out of your mouth the next time you speak while your are in a second rate school within NYU that everyone looks down upon..</p>
<p>^ amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>To clarify things: contract colleges (CALS, ILR, and HumEc) are New York State colleges under the custody and control of Cornell. They do have SUNY affiliation. Contract college are in the 'Ivy League' and their diplomas have only 'Cornell' written on them --no mention of SUNY. </p>
<p>And to answer the OP's Q: yeah, of course you should still apply. I don't think missing one pre-req is grounds for an auto-reject. Keep in mind, however, that applicants with complete pre-reqs will get priority. At least that's how it works for CALS--not that sure about HumEc. Call HumEc admissions.</p>
<p>Jset, the average person at NYU LSP is about a hundred times more qualified than the average CC student. And no, not all CC students are dumb, some simply can't afford college and others are trying to find what they're really interested in, but overall, it's a helluva lot more selective than CC. You think LSP is worse than CC? Most of my classmates have SAT's over 2100 and high GPA's, with one major flaw on their application (e.g, bad math grades), whereas half the CC population smoked crack for 4 straight yrs and blew off the SAT. Guess what, after 1 year in LSP ($36,000, not $100,000, buddy) LSP students go on to graduate from NYU, whereas CC students get looked down on for being too dumb to get into real college. And yeah, in the real world, no one even knows what LSP is, but they hear the term "Community College" they assume you're borderline retarded, which may or may not be true, but it's the truth. </p>
<p>And stop spreading crap about NYU. I know, you're upset because you're convinced you're a true "intellectual" above NYU and want to get the heck out of here because it's so beneath you. Stop discouraging people from transferring in. I want to transfer out myself, i'm not insulting it. </p>
<p>And way to not even help the OP but attack another user instead. OP go ask admissions directly, no one here can tell you for sure. Caillebotte - I don't get it. on the Cornell board, everyone says the contract colleges have no affiliation with SUNY and the diplomas only have Cornell written on them, but are they affiliated with SUNY?</p>
<p>Contract colleges are funded by (and I guess you could say belong in part to) the NY state university system. Yes, this constitutes an "affiliation."</p>
<p>Cornell is NY's land-grant institution. Have you ever seen Ives Hall? In big letters it says "New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations" even though it's clearly one of Cornell's seven UG schools.</p>
<p>As I said in my previous post, the contract schools are in the Ivy League just as much as Harvard College or Penn SAS is in the Ivy League. My diploma will say 'Cornell University' and only 'Cornell University.'</p>
<p>For HumEc, what exactly constitutes the class requirements for priority consideration? Is it the 6-8 credits of science + 3-4 credits of calculus + 6 credits of english composition? Or is it all those plus the courses in your intended major?</p>
<p>The easiest way to find out is to just call the admissions office.</p>
<p>What is NYU LSP? I googled it, but no explanations.</p>
<p>LSP = Liberal Studies Program. A lot of NYU applicants get placed into it and have to complete the program before they go into their intended college. Most LSP students originally applied for CAS, but there are some from other schools. You can also apply to LSP now because it has one 4 year major.</p>
<p>LSP students usually have one major flaw on their app. I had a 2130 and 3.5UW at a top HS with 10 AP classes, and my flaw was sucky math grades. LSP students are usually people who applied undecided. You have to complete a 1-2 year program focusing on the humanities and liberal arts before you go into your major. </p>
<p>It's a way for NYU to make money on the side. My advice is **if you get LSP'd DO NOT GO. **You have no flexibility with your classes, your options are limited, and you have to buy like 30 books each semester and sit around and discuss Socrates all day. 3/4 classes per semester are chosen for you, and even the 4th class is yet another required class! I hate it and am so glad I have lots of AP's cause I can get out of here after 1 yr. I got into 7 other good colleges, some of which admitted me to their honors program, and my parents made me do NYU, and I HATE LSP. </p>
<p>jset is right about one thing - LSP sucks. What he fails to realize is he's getting ripped off at CAS and if you're pre-med, might as well save the $$$ for Med school. </p>
<p>The one good thing about LSP is that classes are very small, whereas the rest of NYU has massive lectures. So you get to know your professors, which is good for me because I'll have a sweet recommendation for when I transfer out!</p>
<p>an odd program! "N-Y-U" has a good roll off the tongue, at least.</p>
