<p>Yeah... I didn't receive anything saying that I should check back online at any particular time though to check my admissions decision.</p>
<p>why do they say that the kids in the hotel school are stupid rich kids.</p>
<p>Just like how kids at Ivy League's are stupid rich kids</p>
<p>...o...wait...that's just a stupid wrong stereotype...</p>
<p>that is not that great of a stereotype except for some people..</p>
<p>yeah... stupid and rich is definitely not the biggest and foremost sterotype of ivy league kids, lol</p>
<p>gosh... i am not rich.... i need Fin Aid man...</p>
<p>How is the personal attention and resources at Cornell for undergraduates?</p>
<p>Hi, cornellstudent09, and to everyone...I'm new to this discussion board. Cornell is MY DREAM UNIVERSITY, but i'm not entirely sure that i'll get in. In your opinion, what kind of SAT scores should i reach for? Mid/high 600s minimum or more? Oh yeah, how is the competition at Cornell? Do people really strive to be THE BEST? Are people actually willing to help you if you have questions regarding academics?</p>
<p>i think its too early for you to be asking that question. first TAKE the SAT, then post. aim for at least a 2100 to be considered a competitive applicant, but there is SO much more that will be evaluated. your asking if people at an ivy league school strive to be the best...what do you think the answer to that question will be? people are willing to help at any respectable school. i have a feeling you are a sophomore or something. good luck.</p>
<p>correction: cornell is not the least selective. it simply admits more students because its the largest school in the ivy league..offering a lot more areas of study than the rest of them. to its respective schools, cornell CAS is easily comparable to the selection process at brown, dartmouth, columbia college, and penn CAS. (trying to avoid the negative connotations here).</p>
<p>Thanks...im a junior by the way...and sry for the redundant questions...i do that sometimes. :) I know i should first take the SATs, but i just want to know what I should reach for, you know. So, i must ask...if my SAT scores are not THAT spectacular ( like 650 CR, 700 M, 720W), but my GPA is a 3.9 + with a LONG LONG LONG LIST of extracurriculars ( a lot of leadership, service + creativity)...do i STILL have a GOOD chance of getting in? I go to the international school of Prague (Czech Rep), by the way, so im very curious....Im not THAT famaliar with American university processes, but im learning. Its fun!</p>
<p>Hey sorry...but i have another question. As i previously said, I eventually want go to medical school...but i was just wondering...which College should i apply to... Arts & Sciences OR Human Ecology? Is one better than the other in preparing a career in medicine? I know that CAS is more popular...so i thought that it would be less competitive to apply to the college of Human Ecology...is this correct?</p>
<p>Is Cornell worth it if it will cost $20,000 more per year than the univ. of Michigan where I got a nice merit scholarship?
Also, isn't Cornell gray and cloudy all winter? How depressing. I'm trying to think of a reason why I'd want Cornell over Michigan if it will cost so much more. Any ideas?</p>
<p>"isn't Cornell gray and cloudy all winter? How depressing."</p>
<p>lets be real, do you honestly thing you'll be doing yourself a favor weather wise in northern michigan?</p>
<p>You must be in-state. I didn't get jack from Michigan when I applied.</p>
<p>Norcalguy.I'm OOS for UMich. Mich is cold, but I don't think it's always cloudy in winter. Don't they have sunny days, too?</p>
<p>its NY state also so it should be cold and windy :O</p>
<p>i can say that compared to UMD and JHU Cornell gets the sam amount of snow in the winter but it's just colder. Also u walk to everywhere, the campus is like a town, and in Maryland ppl are never outside when its cold, hot, raining or snowing we're inside or in cars, so here in Cornell u notice the weather more
But that's cool 'cause if ur ever at loss for converstaion u can talk about the weather and be talking for hours.
For me JHU looks dreary like there is a big cloud around it while the rest of Baltimore city is sunny lol
Cornell is very beautiful even when its cold. The sun does come out and u can learn to deal with the coldness better as u stay longer
srry for the bad grammer im just avoinding a paper and was typing quickly</p>
<p>The Ithaca weather should be a non-issue for anyone aspiring to go to school in the northeast (Boston, Providence, etc) or midwest (Chicago, Ann Arbor) as these areas also can get a lot of snow and have cold winters. Weather can be variable among these places. Last year, for example, at a time when Boston and NYC were buried under snow, Ithaca escaped that storm. </p>
<p>Also, Ithaca, as I understand it, is below the heavy snow belt and therefore doesn't get as much snow as more northern upstate NY places such as Buffalo, Utica and Syracuse. There should be weather charts showing average temperatures and average snowfall for these cities. </p>
<p>In any event, either a climate with cold and snowy winters is Ok with you or you should be looking at schools in warmer climates. I think in general the weather at schools like JHU and UMd would be a bit warmer and have less snow than in Ithaca, Boston, etc. But right now, for example, it is very cold in that area and they have had recent snow and ice storms.</p>
<p>You also have to remember that you will be indoors most of the time anyway if you go to school in the Northeast. Going to Boston instead of Ithaca won't change the fact that it's cold outside. You are inside heated buildings most of the day. Dream education > cold in my view. Plus ull be abroad for part of it anyway...or even interning in another city. Definitely worth it...</p>
