<p>Help, ya'll...</p>
<p>I don't whether to apply to ILR or CAS (Psychology).</p>
<p>I like both programs equally, so I was wondering if you guys had any input and could be the dealbreaker.</p>
<p>You can apply to both schools, one as a first choice, one as a second. You have to do two essays, but if you're passionate about both schools, it shouldn't be too large a problem.</p>
<p>From my own perspective, someone thinking of pursuing a psychology major in any event should probably apply to the CAS, only because it doesn't seem consonant with industrial and labor relations (assuming psychology majors aren't abundant at steel mill union negotiations).</p>
<p>ILR students don't usually go on to "steel mill union negotiations"...yeah Industrial Labor Relations sound kinda like you're dealing with factory work lol...but a ton are pre-law (29% go on Law school) and lots work in finance/business/management. </p>
<p>But if you want psychology, there is no question, do CAS. If you're unsure...the best thing to do is CAS. </p>
<p>Did you know ILR also stands for International Llama Registry? I googled it and it came up!</p>
<p>The psychology we have in ILR is purely organizational psychology. Since we have so many requirements spread over different fields (history, law, economics, international relations, et cetera,) CAS Psychology is a much better choice if psych is your primary interest. I'm mainly an ILRie because I couldn't imagine picking ONE major out of our six fields.</p>
<p>i agree with starazer.. i applied ED to ILR (primary) and CAS (alternate) because im interested in math/logic, sociology, and foreign languages..</p>
<p>btw anyone applying ED to ILR: is it ok if your resume is postmarked 11/2 if youve sent everything else in on time? will they still look at it? i completely forgot about it until this morning.. CRAPPPPPPPPPP</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, guys. I've written my two essays, but I still don't know where to apply primary/secondary.</p>
<p>The annoying thing is that something like 3% of applicants rejected by their first choice school get into their second choice school.</p>
<p>Any additional input is greatly appreciated...</p>
<p>if you have interest in the traditional "shrink" psychology then by all means do the CAS psychology...</p>
<p>it will be harder to get into, but if you have no interest in social policy and labor/employment then why would you do ILR? </p>
<p>many people will apply to ILR only to transfer out of the school into arts and sciences...</p>
<p>if you are interested in pursuing ILR do realize that you'll have more general electives to take outside of the ILR school than you get in CAS...</p>
<p>CAS students must take 100/120 credits for their BA in the College of Arts and Sciences...</p>
<p>ILR students really only take 60-80 credits worth of actual ILR credits and the rest are available for any other college here...so you could take a couple of courses in psychology (but i'd only do this if you have true interest in ILR fields)</p>
<p>I enjoy psychology, but I definitely don't want to be a psychologist.</p>
<p>I'm leaning towards ILR, but I'm a bit concerned, because my ECs aren't geared towards ILR (but then again, they aren't relevant to psychology, either).</p>
<p>what are your ECs? ILR looks for leaders...not just politicians or lawyers...</p>
