<p>Hi everyone. I am going to be a high school senior and planning on applying to Cornell Human Ecology at some point in the future. Any advice on the following majors? (which one is toughest/easiest to get into...toughest/easiest to stay in...workload..what each one incorporates and whether or not you liked your undergrad experience). this will be very much appreciated. thanks</p>

<p>Biology and Society</p>

<p>Design and Environmental Analysis (Facilities, Planning and Management; Human Factors and Ergonomics; Interior Design)</p>

<p>Human Biology, Health and Society</p>

<p>Human Development</p>

<p>Nutritional Sciences</p>

<p>Policy Analysis and Management</p>

<p>I'll be transferring there in the fall, majoring in Human Biology, Health and Society. I wish I could tell you which is the toughest/easiest to stay in, but I really don't know. I do know that the major I'm taking is pretty popular as well as Biology and Society and Human Development. Here is a link to each major's descriptions: <a href="http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/Academics/Admissions_services/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/Academics/Admissions_services/&lt;/a>
And here is another link for each major's requirements. These curriculum sheets should give you a feel of how intense each respective major is:<a href="http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/Academics/Undergraduate/Student_Services/Registrar/Degree_Progress/Curriculum-Sheets.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/Academics/Undergraduate/Student_Services/Registrar/Degree_Progress/Curriculum-Sheets.cfm&lt;/a>
Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Umm....just curious, how do you know so surely that you want to apply to HumEc if you don't have a clue what major you want? That's a diverse spread there....I mean, for example, HBHS is like pre-med, DEA is basically ergonomics, and PAM majors usually end up doing politics or finance. Seems like you should decide where you want to go in life and then work from there.</p>

<p>DEA, Human development, and PAM are all drastically different from one another and drastically different from the three more closely related biology-ish majors. </p>

<p>You really need to know what you WANT to study. If it's interior design, for example, there's only one possible major for you.</p>

<p>Your question is a good one, though, if your interests are biology-related. It might make sense to choose among biology and society, human biology, health and society, and nutritional sciences at least in part based on the difficulty of the curricula.</p>

<p>I dont really know, I want to double major if at all possible. Premed-ish and business. So I guess PAM would be the right choice right? or would it be wiser to apply to one of the more science oriented areas? Will I be able to get in undecided?</p>
