<p>Hey everybody I have some questions under which college I should I apply too. I'm stuck between the College of Human Ecology and ILR. FIrst I'll have a 3.85 when I apply, along with several ecs (200 + volunteering, a great internship as well), only my sat on the old scale is 970. I heard both were very transfer friendly, I want to go into environmental law, so they both look appealing. The thing is I won't have completed precalc by the time I apply, in fact I don't even want to consider more math (since I completed the uc requirements). So what do you think? worth a shot?</p>
<p>Of course it's worth a shot if that's what you want. What school would you be transferring from? SAT score could definitely use a boost. Consider retaking it. I'm not sure of the requirements for each of the schools within Cornall listed, but if precalc is required, do it. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help, but just go for it.</p>
<p>The SAT score will be a dealbreaker, retake if you think you would do better now.</p>
<p>Thanks, I was looking over ILR program, ILR on average accepts 200 as transfers (from the 700/800 accepted, thats HUGE). So they require an interview, what would be some generic topics to prepare for?? Because I don't want to be off guard ??
Also in other schools, I was wondering what do you think are my chances are??</p>
<p>Northwestern
Washington University in St. Louis
Notre Dame
Carnegie Mellon
Georgetown</p>
<p>I will also have well over 60 units by the time i apply (70 I believe). If that helps any</p>
<p>What do you think can put me over the hill in the app process? If I decide not to take the SAT over again??</p>
<p>I'm an ILR transfer student for the class of 2007...</p>
<p>I had a similar GPA (3.85 to be exact). ILR does require an interview: some of the questions are basic, what classes do you take, how many credits, what college, etc. But some of the questions are sneaky ... for instance, "what's your favorite class" is ment to see if you really have an interest in the topics ILR covers. They'll of course ask you why ILR, to which you should have a very thorough response. Really researching what ILR is and what they stand for is key to the application. I hightly recommend visiting ILR sometime (and if at all possible, attend transfer day in the fall - i hope to be there as a student assistant!). Then, take all of the info you've gathered about ILR, and show it in the essays you write for the application (and leave plenty of time to do the application - it's a bear!). This should give you a nice advantage over most. </p>
<p>Your SATs wont make you or break you. They're suppost to predict your first semester in college, and Cornell knows that. I had a 1210 (after my third time taking them). Big whoop. </p>
<p>If you really want ILR, try to adjust your schedule so that you only take classes that will transfer. It'll be worth it in the end, and their advisors are more than happy to help you pick classes. </p>
