<p>I just searched the forum for threads on the primary-alternate choice conundrum, and there are 100 pages worth! So here's my question: Does anyone here actually KNOW someone who was admitted to his/her alternate-choice college at Cornell? And if so, which were the two schools at Cornell and what were the circumstances?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>My daughter was admitted into the CoE as her alternate, applies CAS</p>
<p>Interesting. When was this? And why do you think this happened? It would seem that engineering would want students who list it as a primary. </p>
<p>Female engineering students are in higher demand, since it’s a male dominated field. </p>
<p>Good point. </p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Just bumping this up for the more recent crowd.</p>
<p>Bump, im curious as well</p>
<p>Another bump, also curious.</p>
<p>Do you mean she was not admitted to CAS but was admitted to alternate? Or she was offered both- a choice?</p>
<p>Applicants are not offerred a choice under primary/alternate admissions system at Cornell. </p>
<p>Alternate choice school only sees application if primary choice rejects applicant, but primary choice can read essays for both schools.</p>
<p>ok thanks</p>
