<p>Oddly enough, I am a rural kid.</p>
<p>Middle and upper class....are we talking income or quality of the school here? Because not all rural residents are poor and not all rural schools are crappy...case in point my hometown. </p>
<p>My rural friends who came to Cornell had impressive HS records and kicked the a** of students from non-rural areas. I really don't agree with your observations. </p>
<p>Anyway...I don't wish to drag this argument out. I'm offended, but I, and scores of other rural students are now Cornell alums and that can't be taken away from us....even if we are the "result" of affirmative action.</p>
<p>I've heard from my friend, who is a Hotelie, that Industrial Labor Relations also stands for I Love Reading. How much reading do you actually get? Does it get exhausting? It might just be my Hotelie friend bagging on ILR, but I can't seem to find anything positive about ILR just yet. I got GT for fall 09 and I'm thinking of transferring from UCLA. However I need to know more about ILR and everyone's experience there before going. </p>
<p>How has your experience been so far? The positives/negatives. How is ILR compared to the other colleges in CU? Oh, and what is the acceptance rate to ILR. I couldn't find that out either since everyone keeps talking about CAS and CALS. :/</p>
<p>ILR is fine if you stay on top of your reading. It's not some ridiculous amount and a lot of the time it isn't necessary to read it all. Check out my previous ILR post:</p>
<p>Hahah yea I already saw that part. I don't know. I still feel like there is more to ILR that I don't know. Do you have anything else to add? Any negatives of being in ILR compared to the other schools? What are you planning on becoming?</p>
<p>ILR is a really great school. There's not a lot of studying like pre-med, just a few hours of reading each night. Everyone is really close and there's a lot of room to take electives in other schools. ILR is a great choice.</p>
<p>Hi quick...
What do you know about admission standards for College of Human Ecology? specifically, D is interested in design.</p>
<p>@quick1865,</p>
<p>I'm currently considering between an undergraduate education at Duke or Cornell. I am looking to study either Economics or Public Policy at Duke. At Cornell, I'm considering the AEM program.</p>
<p>Below are some of factors important to me, which I hope will aid in your assessment:</p>
<p>Strength of the programs by their respective schools.</p>
<p>Career opportunities and job placement: As with everyone else, I am keen on entering the banking/finance/consultancy industry.</p>
<p>Academics: I'd prefer if the school did not practice grade deflation, where it is possible for most students to do well without spending all their time studying.</p>
<p>Students: I understand that competition exists in every school. However, I'd prefer collaborative, compete-with-myself competition rather than cutthroat competition. I'd also like to be around students who know how to play and enjoy themselves.</p>
<p>Cohesiveness: I'd like it if the school was not segregated along any lines. I have also heard of negative comments in some schools of the divide between students in fraternities/sororities and those that are not.</p>
<p>Mobility: I wish to have the choice to work and be employed in different parts of the country and possibly overseas.</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>
<p>go to duke.</p>
<p>we don't want you.</p>
<p>Which organic chemistry book does orgo 357 use? I want to order it now so i'm just wondering.</p>
<p>It sounds like AEM is perfect for you. The AEM classes here are not that difficult and there is no real compettive nature in AEM. It's not hard to get a 3.5GPA in AEM and 75% of the friends I have in AEM are doing banking internships at major banks or companies.</p>
<p>Well I have a question for the current Cornell junior/senior-to-be. If you've taken physics, is it really hard? I'm transferring to Cornell in the upcoming school year and I was suggested not to take physics my first yr at Cornell. What do you think? And for any other current Cornellians, please feel free to add in your own too. Thanks!</p>
<p>Please comment on physics. I am curious also.</p>
<p>Duke and Cornell are very different places...</p>
<p>I'd suggest you visit both places during the academic year and see what feels better for you...</p>
