<p>Hi everyone. I applied to plant sciences, but that was because it was a really good match for me and that I hope to conduct plant research as a career. Lately I have been hearing that this is a relatively easy major. Is this true? What are the easier majors? Somebody said that if they think you are applying just because its easy they won't want you, but I didn't even know that before I applied. Anyway, I hope I get in, please let me know what you think about this. I applied ED and I am counting down the days to the decision! Cornell is my first (and basically only) choice. My stats are on another thread, so if you have time PLEASE EVALUATE!! Thanks so much guys!</p>
<p>It is not an easy major, it may be easier to get accepted to CALS with this major as your choice. The plant science major still requires organic chem, calc, and all the other bio and science classes. If you explained in your essays that you want to be a plant science researcher, they should not see that as you trying to use the major as a way to increase your chances of being accepted.</p>
<p>That makes sense, thanks so much. By the way, do you have to tell them of specifically what you plan to study within the major?</p>
<p>No, I don't think you have to specify your concentration. I mentioned my interest in plant pathology in one of the short essays, but you do not have to be specific.</p>
<p>Have you heard that the CAS got too many applications for ED?
Can someone comment on my stats for ED?
