<p>another dumb, but important question</p>
<p>it is important they do very weel i don't know the numbers but it is high for most majors like ILR like 90 plus who apply to law school get in way over the national average of 57%. any one got the real data? thats why i picked cornell bc grad school matters the most for future careers</p>
<p>we need to bump this up</p>
<p>People I knew did about as well as they deserved to.</p>
<p>I knew really smart people who went on to grad school at MIT and Harvard. And I knew an idiot who was just praying he'd get into some non-accredited law school.</p>
<p>Except me. I did better than I deserved to.</p>
<p>From Princeton Review Cornell pages:</p>
<p>Students Going to Law School Upon Graduation: 20%
Students Going to Medical School Upon Graduation: 16%
Students Going to Graduate School Upon Graduation: 34%</p>
<p>I'm assuming that those percentages are based out of the whole student population. Also it probably doesn't take engineering into account since most engineers don't go to grad school and Cornell is full of em!</p>
<p>well, I've spoken with a cornell alum and he gave his daughter as a pretty good example:</p>
<p>His daughter was a fashion design major who went to medical school afterwards. She didn't even go premed and didn't complete all the premed requirements so she had to do that before the med school let her matriculate (but she was accepted before she completed them).</p>
<p>I think the catch was the fact that she graduated with honors and distinction.</p>
<p>They do well. As long as you're at a semi-decent school, it comes down to personal intelligence and work ethic.</p>
<p>Ninian's numbers should be considered with caution. Those numbers depict what overall percentages of students choose those graduate options. What the OP wanted to know, I'm assuming, is how well do Cornell grads do in grad school admissions if in fact they choose to go to grad school, and the answer is well above average.</p>
<p>what is the apparel design major like at Cornell?</p>
<p>Hello all.
Cornell is an excellent place to prepare for graduate school.
Acceptance comes down to your own accomplishments, but Cornell will unlock all doors for you. Its up to you to open them.</p>
<p>I graduate from Cornell 3 years ago and just applied to graduate school. I was accepted to all of the top programs. </p>
<p>The trick is to take advantage of Cornell's excellent research backbone. Professors will let proactive undergraduates have important roles in research groups. This is the most important part of your graduate application (in the science and engineering fields anyway - and prob. others).</p>
