<p>Ever thing i read says that there is alot of stuff to do at Cornell but all this stuff is sent out by Cornell. Does it ever get really boring?</p>
<p>O, and on average how many pretty girls(btwn 6-10 on hotness scale) do you seen in say a regular day?</p>
<p>hunter#9- Yes I agree that there is always something to at Cornell. You have like eight frat parties per weekend, bubble tea and lunch/dinner in collegetown, shopping around the Commons, gorge jumping, acapella shows all the time, a lot of gyms, great food, frisbee on the quad, basketball at helen newman, ice skating ay lynah, bhangra shows, comedy shows, dance shows, ice cream at the big red barn, go to a concert at Barton... or try the 161 things that Every Cornellian Must Do (I've done only about 20 so there's a lot more for me to do) <a href="http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Campus/Infobase/Infobase.php?kindex=856%5B/url%5D">http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Campus/Infobase/Infobase.php?kindex=856</a></p>
<p>On a scale of 1-10 I would say the girls here are about a 7. There are some 9's and there are some 1's but we do have a good mix. If hott rich blondes are your type then when you get here meet some KKG girls. If youre not into hott blondes then there are a lot of hott girls around and at frat parties you just have to search them out.</p>
<p>Let's be fair, how many hot guys are there at Cornell on a scale of 1-10. Not trying to be mean, but out of curiosity .</p>
<p>Um. Many girls think the guys in SAE are hott.</p>
<p>Why so, enlighten me~</p>
<p>I know you're in ILR, but what do you know about the Human Ecology schools, how is it in terms of classs difficulty, workload, grading?</p>
<p>And do we really have to take a swimming class?</p>
<p>And how many people are avid Xbox/Halo players there?</p>
<p>How are you coping with the financial aspects of education at Cornell? Has it started burdening down on you yet? What are most students' attitudes towards money and staying at Cornell?</p>
<p>mz16- I really don't know why.</p>
<p>Karl Marks-
1) It all depends which major you choose in HumEc. I have friends in Human Development and other science-based majors that have some trouble in some classes but all in all it doesn't seem too bad.
2) No you do not have to take a swimming CLASS. During the first day or so at Cornell you will have to pass a swim test. If you take the test and pass then that's it. If you do not pass the test or do not know how to swim you will have to take a beginner swim class during your first semester as a PE requirement. All cornell freshmen are required to take a PE class and so if you pass the swim test you will have to take one of the many PE classes such as basketball, boot camp, karate, boxing, swedish massage, sailing, aerobics, etc.
3) I'm not really sure how many but there are few if you can find them. when you get here download DC++ and then ask anyone on the hub if they're really into X-Box/Halo and see if you can meet up and play together. I would recommend going outside and exploring Cornell and meeting new people instead of being inside playing video games, you can wait until finals to do that.</p>
<p>asianjewel-
I'm fortunate enough that my parents can pay for ILR ($30,000 a year, rather than $45,000 at the non-state endowed schools) so it hasn't been too much of a problem. I know a lot of students who are on loans and financial aid and are getting by just fine. Cornell is an amazing education and is worth the price.</p>
<p>Since ILR is one of the "state" schools, do i have a better chance of getting in (than if I applied to CAS) since I am from NY?</p>
<p>some people say that you do, some people sau that you used to, some people say that you don't.... I say that if you have a high GPA, write an ILR-related essay, and show sincere interest in ILR than you can get into ILR</p>
<p>Your last sentence sounds promising but it can't be as easy as that to get into ILR, is it? And what would you consider a high GPA? Do you see ILR as a stepping stone to a business career, say in finance or marketing? Or only human resources? I know the literature says it can lead to anything but what have you observed to be the case? Is it too narrowly focused to prepare you for a business career?</p>
<p>What is the estimate % of people who get into ILR after being deferred? How important are SAT scores to ILR and what is usually the cut off score?</p>
<p>"Since ILR is one of the "state" schools, do i have a better chance of getting in (than if I applied to CAS) since I am from NY?"</p>
<p>although this was true at one point, it is no longer the case and this has been confirmed by the administration. </p>

<p>Based on my experience as a soon-to-be senior in ilr, it seems like more people go into business fields than HR ones. In fact, Goldman Sachs holds private recruitment sessions for only ILR students (i dont think they do that for any other college). ILR may actually be better than a 'regular' u-grad business degree since it places undergrads just as well into business fields but also allows them to explore a much more diverse range of fields - though I must mention that CNN Money recently ranked HR management as the #2 "best job to have" right now. </p>
<p>"What is the estimate % of people who get into ILR after being deferred?"
That varies too much from year to year. Last year was ultra-competitive. </p>
<p>"How important are SAT scores to ILR and what is usually the cut off score?"
They're given weight, though more emphasis will be placed on what you do outside of the classroom that is also ILR related stuff. If you're loaded with great EC's, a 1350 or so will do, though if you lack some i'd probably look for a 1400. There's no designated cut off.</p>
<p>How much does legacy and other connections help for ILR..Also it says on the website that people who get into ILR have SAT's from a 1800-2400..is it possible then to get in with something like a 1880 if your in alot of APs, great gpa and high ranking?</p>
<p>Although I think this has been asked before, what is the best cell-phone service provider up in Ithaca/on Campus in Cornell?</p>
<p>that's true i am making a choice between cingular and verizon, cingular has nice phone but verizon dont
in other hand more ppl use verizon up there i guess</p>
<p>abc12345678- Cornell (and ILR for that matter) take a very holistic approach to applications. If you have a stunning application along with a great ILR-related essay and a high GPA then I doubt an 1880 SAT would hold you back that much. I would also say that being a legacy does help somewhat but don't count on it.</p>
<p>ECaesar and rach719- I would say from my experience to get Verizon. Cingular is good/decent depending on where you are but Verizon seems to be the best.</p>
<p>When do people who are deferred from ILR find out regular decision..I heard that its rolling for ILR and starts in mid feb. but do deferred people find out that early too?</p>
<p>Hello.
I was accepted to CAS, biological science.
3 Question here:
1. Is Cornell biology world-renowned? I know all Cornell courses are good, but i'm saying is it particularly good?
2. I didn't apply for financial aid this year, but I wish to get some financial aid from second year. Is it possible?
3. Do many Cornellians get into good medical/dental school? (i'm thinking Harvard, Penn, Cornell, Brown etc) </p>
<p>Thank you very much !@!@!!!!@!@!</p>
