<p>Okay. This may come off as a relatively strange question, but I plan on applying for regular at ILR, and I'd like to know some of the current/past students' perceptions, experiences, and feelings of it.
It's supposedly a very set curriculum, so is there a negative/positive aspect of that?
And would it be a suitable school for me to attend if I intend to work in regard to the Human Resources field?</p>
<p>your first three semesters is a pretty set curriculum, but after that you’ll have plenty of room to explore around ILR and Cornell as a whole. You’ll even have some room in your first few semesters, you’ll just need to get a handful of the core classes out of the way. I enjoyed the core classes, however, as did most of my friends. </p>
<p>I find the requirements to be a positive as they’ll prepare you well in the areas of writing, reading (it sounds basic, but ILR is a whole new level), economic understanding, and statistical reasoning. The breadth is important, ILR does put emphasis on a well rounded education. I suppose it’s a negative for those who only believe in an open curriculum, but being forced to take cetain classes was a great experience for me and led me down an eventual carreer path I would not have considered otherwise. </p>
<p>And ILR would be more than suitable for HR field.</p>
<p>Thank you, Gomestar!
That was a very, very comprehensive answer.
I am immensely appreciative of it; it not only answered my questions but provided me much more helpful information.
Once again, thank you.</p>
<p>I apologize for the double post, but I’m unable to edit my earlier post and do not feel the need to create an entirely new thread. Anyway, I see that ILR requires the submission of a resume. Does this mean that it should contain information such as work experience, volunteer, etc.? Or should there be something on there that I am not aware of? </p>
<p>Furthermore, what would be considered a student that is ‘fit’ for ILR?</p>
