<p>According to <a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf</a>, ILR has a 64% acceptance rate. How can this be true? And can someone please explain what the ILR school is about? The "Collective Bargaining, Labor Law, and Labor History" and "Organizational Behavior" degrees seem like philosophy through a business setting, which would be perfect for me. Do I have the right or wrong idea? Any information on ILR would be very much appreciated.</p>
<p>that "64%" includes the several dozen students who had a guaranteed transfer agreement after being denied admission as freshmen. For some reason admissions counts them as both an applicant and an accepted student even though their acceptance was guaranteed if they met all of the requirement of the guaranteed transfer. It inflates the numbers quite a bit. The real acceptance rate for ilr transfers (as stated by dean of admissions for ilr Mary VanArsdale) is between 28-31%. </p>
<p>""Collective Bargaining, Labor Law, and Labor History" and "Organizational Behavior" degrees seem like philosophy through a business setting" that's pretty much it. Collective bargaining is how to win disputes with people, org. behavior is the psychology and sociology of business.</p>
<p>ILR degree is much more than a phiosophy degree, that's insulting. ILR accepts students who show an interest in ILR. they accept the best and best fit for the school . its not like they accept any joe off the street.FYI ILr is a great school to be in if u want to go to law school</p>
<p>hey bike, what about someone interested in getting an mba? Can you please elaborate on exactly what it is because i'm very confused. All i know is that ILR is not specifically business, but it seems similair. I'm interested in studying business and minoring in philosophy at my current school, but have also begun looking at Cornell's ILR school. Would the ILR program be valued by company employers (similair to a business degree,) or is it more about the study of labor? I'd really appreciate any information you can provide me. Thanks alot.</p>
<p>also, what would it take to gain admission into the ILR program? I'm a second semester freshmen at SUNY Binghamton. I had a 4.0 gpa first semester and will probably end the year with a 3.8 - 3.9, but these are mostly intro courses to satisfy the general education requirements. I'm taking Calc 1 this summer and will take some economics courses next semester. As far as ECs go, I only write for the school newspaper, but I would like to do more this semester or next. What would be good ECs to make me a competitive applicant for the ILR school?</p>
<p>And again, what exactly IS the ILR school??? haha.</p>
<p>i don't know about transfer admission, gomestar would know more. yah u can go to business school and get ur mns. a third goes to law school, business school, and the work force. so u have limited possibilities. ILR is like a pre-law program but it goes in depth on work place issues ranging from a board range of topics. i don't know a specific answer on what ILR actually is. read some of thier lit and visit thier website to get more insight, hope that helps</p>
<p>it helps tremendously; i thought it was more business, but now i know it's more pre-law. thanks alott.</p>
<p>the ilr curriculum iself is not pre-law. In the end, about 30% of grads go to law school, another 30% get jobs, and the last 30% end up in MBA programs (within a few years after graduating at least). </p>
<p>the general focus of ilr is more business oriented. There are a few general paths you can take to study under ilr ... i'm in organizational behavior. Others do law, some do CB and so forth. Now, when i say business i dont mean pure business. We have the AEM program in the ag school if you're interested in an undergraduate business major. ILR is more about the science of business (understanding groups, organizations, leaders, how to maximize all of this, etc). It's too big of a school to describe in one paragraph since there's so many paths you can take under ilr.</p>
<p>wow, that sounds realllly interesting... i'm definately going to do more research about both programs (AEM and ILR).</p>
<p>sry to miss inform u slightly donpon but that was what i was basically told and understood ILR to be.</p>
<p>it's all good!</p>
