<p>also something that is new to me. Cornell has many different school and kids apply to one of those schools right?
so, when i say i am applying to cornell, am i applying to a school in cornell or am i applying to cornell in general?
that has bothered me for a while now.
plus would each school have a set of their own requirements? supplements or other information?
basically what i would like to know is how separate are the schools in cornell from cornell</p>
<p>Each has their own admissions office, and their own standards for admission. </p>
<p>You should do some more research on Cornell before you apply - you don't seem to know much about it.</p>
<p>In terms of the client side of admission, you submit the exact same supplement, the exact same common app.</p>
<p>The only difference is you have to declare which college you are applying to, and declare which major you are possibly interested in. (And for some schools, i.e. Hotel, an interview is required as well as a headshot)</p>
<p>But yes, each school has different standards for admission, as soccer_guy said, so while you may be a good fit for CALS, you might not be a good fit for HumEc.</p>
<p>Think of it like this. There are many specialized departments in Cornell. These are the colleges of Cornell. There are Arts and Sciences, ALS, AEM, etc. Each one uses the exact same application with a few exceptions. You will have to choose a school. Try to choose one that offers the major that you are looking for and is in the field you think you will like best. For instance, if you are planning to major in engineer, it might not be a wise decision to go to Arts and Sciences. You will have to mark that down on your application and also write an essay pertaining to that specific school. Also note that some schools might have different acceptance rates than others...you'll have to look up that statistic for yourself. I know that the acceptance rate for Arts and Sciences is different than for Cornell overall. (see below, I stand corrected.)</p>
<p>^ Arts and Sciences acceptance rate is in the teens, and Cornell overall is about 20%</p>
<p>I hear that you can get a major from different schools in the same field. I.E. in a Bio Science major from AS, you take more LA classes than if you got that major from ALS.</p>
<p>what the hell are you talking about?</p>
<p>if you mean what I think you mean, then no, there are only a few majors, I.e. Biology, and Biological Engineering majors that are offered in more than one college.</p>
<p>Sorry, I probably should have said a few*. I know Bio Sciences is one because it was one of the ones I looked up. It was something that was new to me and it might turn out to be important.</p>
<p>alrighty then!</p>
