I don't mean to sound dumb, but can anyone tell me exactly what this means?</p>

<p>It means whether you are passionate about your major of choice (revealed through your ECs, life experience, academia, etc).</p>

Q: Do I have better chances at one college at Cornell over another?
A: Yes, you do. Your chances are best if you apply for the major for which you are best suited. If you have work experience in local engineering firms, have won science competitions, and have taken every AP math and science at your school, your chances are lessened for the Hotel School, but you may be qualified for Engineering. The colleges each look for very different things in their applicants. They are known to reject an applicant if he/she seems out of place, even if he is very qualified for another college.
