<p>I am currently planning on applying to Cornell University but this also means that I have to decide which college I want to apply to. There are seven seperate colleges in Cornell alone. So far, I have narrowed it down to these three: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. </p>
<p>I orginally was going to apply to CALS for sure seeing as they offered both biological engineering (like the College of Engineering) and molecular biology (like the College of Arts and Sciences) but then I heard CALS is publicly funded so it shows preference towards in-state students. Is this true? If so, I am clueless as to which school I should apply to. Help!</p>
<p>It depends on your stats. Engineering and Arts and Sciences are more selective than CALS. CALS accepts a lot of OOS students. In what subject do you really want to major? Cornell is a great choice for Life Sciences. They just had a $400 million investment in Life Sciences areas. What are your SATs? Are you from Washington state or DC?</p>
<p>I am from Washington state. My SAT score is 2240 cumulative with 800 math, 740 reading, and 700 writing. My SAT II scores are 800 in Math II and 780 in Chemistry. I also plan on taking Literature as well for Harvard though I'm not sure I will be sending the score to Cornell.</p>
<p>What is OOS?</p>
<p>I really want to major in either biomedical engineering, biological engineering, pre-med, or biological sciences. What exactly does Life Sciences refer to?</p>
<p>life sciences refers to agricultural sciences like biology of plants and animals, not necessarily human biology. You need to decide what you want more: biology or biomedical engineering. There is a specific college for each choice. Obviously it'd be better to go to engineering if you wanted to pursue biomedical engineering, so you just need to decide on your own what you want to major in first.</p>
<p>thanks everyone! i think i'm going to apply to college of engineering so I can major in biological engineering and minor in biomedical engineering. and perhaps a couple of other majors as well. thanks again for ur guys' advice.</p>
<p>if anyone has any more advice or info about cornell's BEE program or engineering college or life sciences or anything like that, I'd be glad to get it! :D</p>
