<p>^^</p>
<p>you'll likely be rejected solely for applying to both hotel and cas.</p>
<p>cals, yeah hotel has all sorts of extra requirements</p>
<p>oh i have no idea about any requirements - but if you can't get into CAS, you wont get into hotel as it's clear you'll be trying to use it as a backup. </p>
<p>my guess is Cornell will expect to people to apply to the school they want, and then to another school that has a higher acceptance rate ... and accordingly will try to pick these people out. It shouldn't be too hard of a task.</p>
<p>maybe as in i might actually be interested in it. im just not sure yet, im not even in college yet. not to mention you have to interview and be very sure of it. </p>
<p>at he and ilr, we're talking a 50% acceptance as opposed to 8% at cas. they obviously aren't weeding that many people out.</p>
<p>"you'll likely be rejected solely for applying to both hotel and cas."
*** is that supposed to mean</p>
<p>fyi - reading your posts, it seems you always jump to conclusions and are way too defensive when it comes to discussing cornell. </p>
<p>gomestar, for the record i never want your input</p>
<p>" reading your posts, it seems you always jump to conclusions and are way too defensive when it comes to discussing cornell."
I jumped to the conclusion that you dont know anything about hotel and you're just trying to abuse the system. To which, you verified this with "im just not sure" leading me to believe you are indeed just trying to work it to your advantage, ESPECIALLY when you say you might look at Human Ecology as well. If you wanted hotel, you wouldn't look at either humec or CAS as a substitute, there are 2 other schools that'll fit the bill much better as an alternative. Why dont you just say you'll apply to "whichever one accepts more" and spare us the momentary waste of thought. </p>
<p>"they obviously aren't weeding that many people out."
whose to say they don't tell people to save $80 in application fees upon recieving transcripts. I'm one to say they do. HumEc and ILR dont care about acceptance rate, they prefer to stack the class with exactly the students they want. </p>
<p>" "you'll likely be rejected solely for applying to both hotel and cas.""
" *** is that supposed to mean"
it means hotel and cas are polar opposites and you're sending a bad message to people by applying to both. </p>
<p>" gomestar, for the record i never want your input"
Then you don't know who I am, what I do, or what I know.</p>
<p>kids these days...</p>
<p>also dpad, how about this cute little statement of yours:</p>
<p>"as a transfer i would apply to ILR next year, then internal transfer to the much more competitive CAS."</p>
<p>I'm oh so sorry for jumping to conclusions.</p>
<p>have you ever actually helped anyone?
i guess i could look up your past posts too but i can already assume you have not and not to mention that's just downright pathetic..</p>
<p>you do need to recheck that thread where i did make that post because i was questioning how easy it would be for people to abuse the system.. you, of course, being desperate to make an argument, are taking it out of context.</p>
<p>the hotel school is not a polar opposite of cas idiot, how could you even classify cas as being the polar opposite of anything?
as far as the hotel school, it requires an interview and has a 25% acceptance rate. how the hell is that trying to abuse the system? anyone could see that i am interested in it but just not sure as of right now.</p>
<p>" gomestar, for the record i never want your input"
Then you don't know who I am, what I do, or what I know.'
-um.. wow, i obviously don't care?</p>
<p>you don't even know your own school..
cas has everything, he has pam, ilr has labor economics, cals has aem, the hotel school has business i may be interested in as well.</p>
<p>you may think i'm looking for loopholes but i'm just looking for the right fit so take your negativity elsewhere</p>
<p>"have you ever actually helped anyone?"
I may have saved you $80. </p>
<p>" i was questioning how easy it would be for people to abuse the system"
It sounded less like "questioning" and alot more like "double checking". </p>
<p>" the hotel school is not a polar opposite of cas idiot, how could you even classify cas as being the polar opposite of anything?"
might have something to do with the classes I've taken at both schools. But, what do i know about them both?</p>
<p>" " gomestar, for the record i never want your input"
Then you don't know who I am, what I do, or what I know.'
-um.. wow, i obviously don't care?"
why is that a question? Do you don't care?</p>
<p>" you don't even know your own school..
cas has everything, he has pam, ilr has labor economics, cals has aem, the hotel school has business i may be interested in as well."
but you're looking at things like international relations, french, and polish. Where does hotel administration fit into this? </p>
<p>" you may think i'm looking for loopholes but i'm just looking for the right fit"
your posts are overwhelmingly against what you say. (hehe).</p>
<p>it is possible to be a "fit" for like 3 different schools - but your interests don't line up with the hotel school and are pretty weak for HE. </p>
<p>TIP: for transfers, admissions tends to prefer somebody whose set on a goal as there's really only 1 or 2 semesters at most for 'exploration' as a transfer student. If you had a brain, you'd listen, if you have an ego, you won't.</p>
<p>gomestar, i pounded you in the BC/Cornell thread by throwing your own words back at you, and i can do it again here. however, i don't feel like it. all i am going to say is this: </p>
<p>"TIP: for transfers, admissions tends to prefer somebody whose set on a goal as there's really..."</p>
<p>"whose to say they don't tell people to save $80 in application fees upon recieving transcripts."</p>
<p>two ERRORS in the same thread - don't even say the "whose" are typos. the "recieving" might be a typo, but who knows with you. </p>
<p>you are someone whose posts are always grammatically incorrect. thus, you are received as a fraud.</p>
<p>NDfreak, you're still mad at the other thread, get over it. </p>
<p>"i pounded you in the BC/Cornell thread by throwing your own words back at you,"
it's the best argument you could muster. </p>
<p>"you are someone whose posts are always grammatically incorrect"
and i don't care. I prefer it when the best people can do is cite me for grammar here on an informal public message board. </p>
<p>Please, lets get back to the original topic here.
sorry, dpad if I've come to bad conclusions about you, but take a look at what you've posted and tell me it doesn't point to a possible manipulation of the admissions system. Be smart about what you post and how it may come across.</p>
<p>again, using your own words:</p>
<p>"Be smart about what you post and how it may come across."</p>
<p>you come across as a complete idiot. why would i listen to advice given by someone who can't even write correctly?</p>
<p>ND: Attacking someone’s grammar is a petty way of trying to tear apart what they say. It's something of a last resort: "I have failed at providing an articulate counter-argument and must find some minute way to redeem myself!" Also, In the end how much does grammar truly matter on a public forum? You understood what he trying to say even if it wasn’t grammatically correct (as it shouldn’t be on a public forum). Grammar is just a device used to produce clarity in someone’s writing so you can understand what their trying to say . In the end time was saved and the same thing was accomplished as would have been wasting time and using correct grammar. </p>
<p>God, this is a public forum and similar to using AIM or FB correct grammar doesn’t have to be used and isn’t expected to be used; this isn’t a published work.</p>
<p>ND freak, keep your personal agenda off this thread, ok? If you have something to say, make it through a PM I have no problem working things out through there. </p>
<p>I'll practice my grammar here:
dpad is likely to believe somebody who's credibility and experience is of greater quality than their grammar. </p>
<p>how's that, is it ok?</p>
<p>as you can see, does it really matter which "who's" or "whose" it is when the point is given??</p>
<p>wow, i can't believe you two. ask 'drj' what he thinks about it. he's a professor. </p>
<p>Grant15:</p>
<p>"I have failed at providing an articulate counter-argument"</p>
<p>i point out grammar flaws mid-argument, buddy.</p>
<p>"as it shouldnt be on a public forum"</p>
<p>should I intentionally write incorrectly?</p>
<p>"Grammar is just a device"</p>
<p>oh, okay, so it doesn't mean anything. it only applies in certain situations. is that how the law works, too?</p>
<p>"wasting time and using correct grammar."</p>
<p>if you screw it up here, chances are you'll miss something when writing a piece that counts. its not a waste of time.</p>
<p>"correct grammar doesnt have to be used and isnt expected to be used"</p>
<p>is this a rule I am unaware of? when are we taught to use Nonstandard English?</p>
<p>gomestar:</p>
<p>i don't have a personal agenda. don't be embarrassed. if you wrote it, you have to live with it. </p>
<p>"dpad is likely to believe somebody who's credibility and experience is of greater quality than their grammar."</p>
<p>that's still wrong.</p>
<p>ndfreak you are a twit.</p>
<p>"should I intentionally write incorrectly?"
aside from you, nobody will care. </p>
<p>"it only applies in certain situations. is that how the law works, too?"
so the law and grammar are so similar they can be compared to each other just like that?</p>
<p>"if you screw it up here, chances are you'll miss something when writing a piece that counts."
hasn't happened yet and I'm about to graduate. </p>
<p>"i don't have a personal agenda."
so you're just a douche bag all the time?</p>
<p>"that's still wrong."
you missed my point, I was trying to show how something so negligible doesn't have much weight when compared to other ... dare I say legit ... factors are in play.</p>
<p>i see, i am supposed to know you've miraculously learned how to distinguish between whose/who's after you misused 'whose' twice.</p>
