<p>Thanks! I actually just got the email back from admissions which said I don't need any subject tests, which is a relief.
The reason I probably won't apply for transfer again is because in HS I applied undecided to CAS and was rejected, and now I'm applying as a transfer, so yeah, technically I could apply again if I'm rejected, but I'm afraid I have too much pride for that...besides, imagine if I was rejected 3 times...lmao my self esteem couldn't handle that. It would be cornell's way of saying WE DESPISE YOU AND YOU'RE STUPID. </p>
<p>haha so what major are you applying for? I want to go so badly! Today the train broke down so it took me 3 hrs to commute instead of 2...and then this cab driver rolled down his window and asked me for a blowjob...and then it started hailing and I didn't have my umbrella...and seriously all I could think of is it's gonna be worth it if I can get into cornell...really don't like NYU.</p>
<p>I'm applying as a HBHS (Human Biology, Health, and Society) major. It's supposedly really popular among HumEc students, so I'm worried that might affect my chances.</p>
<p>Yeah, commuting is awful! I commute a whopping 50 miles every day just for school. Whenever I hear about how much fun kids in the dorms are having, I get so jealous, haha. But whatever, it's saving us dough, right? </p>
<p>Ahh, now I understand about the 3-time rejection. That would be unbelievably crushing, no doubt. But honestly, you sound like a really cool applicant, and HumEc is all about fit anyway, so you shouldn't worry.</p>
<p>Ehh the truth is my parents could afford it, but they're crazy control freaks and didn't want me to leave home. Are you from NY - b/c I am and attending HumEc would save me major dough...Cornell tuition + room/board + meal plan + books + supplies/fees is STILL less than NYU tuition alone! it's cuckoo bananas</p>
<p>I feel like HumEc is such a good fit for me. I've been trying to find programs similar to PAM and nothing compares elsewhere. Are you pre-med?</p>
<p>Actually, I'm from Texas. Following the money isn't always the wisest decision. I have an excess of about 8k scholarship money coming in from my current school from this year alone, and I'm still unhappy. I should''ve chosen a school that I LIKED rather than going to a school that was close to home (for TX standards). :) </p>
<p>Yep, I'm premed. I feel the same way about HBHS. It's like the perfect mix of social science + natural science, which is hard to find and very alluring for me.</p>
<p>I'm not going to HumEc because it's cheaper, it's just an awesome bonus. Every college I was accepted to but NYU gave me a scholarship, and I ended up at NYU...my parents wouldn't consider letting me go anywhere else. Cornell's 3 hrs from my house, not bad. I can visit on long weekends/holidays. If I get accepted, that is. Big if.</p>
