<p>ILR Supplement- Talked about my interests in economics and labor unions/relations as a sports fan and how my moms a teach in a union and how that affects my daily life and how i could research and learn more about those interests in the ilr curriculum. </p>

<p>Recommendations
One from volleyball coach who also had me for class in bio and chem and is my guidance counselor (he said it will be amazing)

<p>If anyone can chance me, I’ll chance back.

<p>Honestly, I think you have a better than even chance of getting in. I’m applying to ILR as a transfer. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>@MOHighschooler From what I’ve heard ILR accepts a lot more transfer students that the other 6 Cornell schools so u probably have a good shot at getting in. </p>

<p>Your test scores are great! All of your EC and your interest seem to fit very well with ILR. You’ll be very competitive for ED. Hope we both get in! @mattmets24</p>
