<p>Obviously Cornell.</p>
<p>Cornell ILR or Boston College?</p>
<p>what are you interested in studying? How about future plans? Discuss...</p>
<p>ILR vs. Carroll School of Management I assume? I applied to both and I got wait listed for ILR, but I'm pretty confident I'll get into Carroll.</p>
<p>If you want to do Law or are interested in labor issues at all then I would say chose ILR. The downside is that if you are interested in getting an MBA, ILR doesn't have a ton of resources to help you. I do believe the program would prepare you for business school though. And you can always take AEM, PAM, and Hotel classes to get a broad experience. I don't know too much about BC.</p>
<p>"if you are interested in getting an MBA, ILR doesn't have a ton of resources to help you"</p>
<p>how so? Nearly a third of ilr graduates go on to earn an MBA. ILR students can also take classes at the Johnson school of management for credit (as well as through AEM and PAM).</p>
<p>I actually did BC arts & sciences b/c I dont know what I want to do. I always considered law, but I'm really unsure</p>
<p>It is definitely not true that a third of ILR students go on to get an MBA. Take a look at the charts on <a href="http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/admissions/lifeafter.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/admissions/lifeafter.html</a>. From any given year 10-15% of ILR students do some sort of grad school other then law school. That would include business school. ILR will prepare you for an MBA but it definitely lack resources like mba advising that other business schools have.</p>
<p>starmel r u in ILR?</p>
<p>yup! a current junior</p>
<p>is ILR very competitive between students?</p>
<p>i got my stats from kevin harris ... i guess he doesn't know his stuff?</p>
<p>ilr isn't very competitive between students. </p>
<p>i'm an ilr junior as well.</p>
<p>In my opinon, not really. Ocassionally you do run into *******s but for the most part every body is really friendly. ILR is very group work based so it would be hard to be really cut throat. There are those who hold on to their 4.3 cum with pride though.</p>
<p>hehe, another question: Im from nyc and I was wondering if ILR has alot of nyc residents or elsewhere from ny</p>
<p>IMO the one think i dont like about ilr is the geographic diversity: to answer your question, 50% of ilr students are from the greater NYC area. I think it kind of sucks when you can pluck a random ilr student from a class and half the time they'll be from the NYC/LI area. Another 20% makes up students from other parts of New York State. </p>
<p>Group work is often encouraged in ilr. Some people are competitive, but they've lost friends in the process (at least i've noticed). They just kind of do their own thing and everybody else cooperates very nicely on everything else whether it be projects or hw. For some classes, you'll really need to utilize group work to cut down on the workload. </p>
<p>though ilr doesnt have dirrect MBA advising, it also doesn't have law school advisors either. i think ilr is great for learning how to manage people and deal with groups (org. behavior). If you're looking into the finace part of business, try some of the AEM classes at the ag school. </p>
<p>for law, placement from ilr into law schools is second to none. Every teacher i've asked has never met a student who couldn't get into law school.</p>
<p>hey...can i answer this q of urs,...</p>
<p>** CORNELL!!! DUH!!! :p**</p>
<p>Laura Lewis is the pre-law advisor for ILR. Like I said, there is no designated pre-business adivisor.</p>
<p>laura lewis is the director of student services (at least that's her formal title). Perhaps she does some pre-law stuff, but i havn't heard of this. </p>
<p>if there was pre-law advising, how come one of the "goals" of a student assembly candidate for ilr was to do something like "have an office where students can go for law advising and preparation?"</p>
<p>for either law or business, i'd look into the office of career services at Barnes hall. They are a university-wide resource for students.</p>
<p>LOL, everbody is OSS has multiple titles. Laura Lewis is actually very good with pre-law stuff. She actually lists one of her duties as the pre-law advisor on the oss website. I have spoken with her a number of times and she has helped a couple of my friends get into law school. Its very easy to get pre-law advising in ILR. I do agree that Barnes would be a better place to get general counseling from people who specialize in pre-grad school matters.</p>
<p>good lord, do these people have lives?</p>
<p>laura did a bunch of time-consuming credit evaluation stuff for me. At the time, i figured it was her main job. The people in OSS seem to do as much work as the students do. Dang.</p>
