This board has been pretty quiet with CHE ED applicants…anyone apply early to CHE? If so, what major?
I applied early as a PAM major to CHE.
I applied CHE - Nutrition
Did you have your alumni interview?
I applied to fashion design management and had a phone call with an alumni yesterday.
I applied to Human Biology, Health, and Society. Humec is one of the smaller colleges at Cornell, accepting about 450 Freshmen from about 2,500 applicants, of which 300 enroll. Compared to CALS and Arts & Sciences (7,000 and 20,000 applicants), that explains why there aren’t many people talking about CHE on the forums. If I get in, I’d love to chat with my peers about their specific interests, though still in the context of human society. What experience do you have with your major and what do you want to do in the world with it?
Zephyr212 …I am here for the waiting party and this is torture!
Hi I also applied ED for the HBHS major!! Here for the waiting party as well ?
CHE ED acceptance rate is around 40%. we got this!
do you know the breakdown by major?
HBHS and PAM are the hardest
Thanks for the info. I applied for Nutritional Science. Hard to figure out how many applicants for that particular major
Anyone else applied to Global and Public Health Science?
@lpine23 How do you know CHE has a 40% acceptance rate for ED and that HBHS and PAM are the most competitive majors?
I applied Human Development 
I applied Healthcare Policy! I figured the ED acceptance rate was at mid 30’s… most schools with RD of about 18% tend to double it for ED. Wonder if anyone has any “proof” beyond comparative speculation though.
Probably speculation because they don’t post ED numbers by college.
Also, CHE has a large female to male ratio…wonder if that is an advantage or disadvantage for males?
the acceptance rates are comparable. again, it depends on what major you apply to. some have more males (pam, hbhs) and are harder to get into. others (HD, DEA, FDAM) are easier to males to get into bcos they are female dominated. also my sources for all of what I say is based on what my older sister has told me (humec '23)
Did anyone else do an info session? They had us fill out forms with many personal details and stuff like our our ECs… I know they don’t track dem. interest and it seemed very odd, even schools that DO track didn’t take that much info when I visited
I also went to an info session. It was the best I’ve ever been to and it was real cool to hear people’s stories.
@lpine23 I would value the acceptance rate and male/female major stats if it went beyond anecdotal…
