Any other students applying to Cornell’s CALS Development Sociology? What are your chances, especially ED?
my stats: 33 act
bio and spanish subject tests 750 and 690
my extra recs are very dev’t oriented
my essays were pretty basic
I’d say you probably have a good chance, I’m majoring in development sociology and it’s a pretty small major and I got in with a 31 act but my extra recs were also very dev’t oriented and i talked about international experiences in my essay
@fourfourfour i’m ED’ing DevSoc with a 31 ACT too, I hope that the rest of my application counterbalances it. How do do you like the major? When you say it’s small, do you think that this would give an advantage (not many ppl to fill in so more acceptances) or disadvantage (limited amount of students) to those applying? I totally understand if you don’t know the answer, I’m sure no one really does lol, but what would you think?
@ebebeb i think it’s probably an advantage. I like the classes that I’m taking so far and the professors in our department seem really nice. I’m not really that involved yet as i’m just a freshman
