<p>I have applied to ILR RD and i did not use the secondary college option.....</p>
<p>Is it true that ILR is easier to get into? do they have less applicants than other schools? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i saw something once that they accepted 105ish/400ish guys and 100/410ish non-males last year</p>
<p>i’m applying ilr rd as well</p>
<p>gl</p>
<p>I hope you are not applying to ILR because you perceive it being “easier to get into”, because ILR admissions read beyond that in your essay(s), and your application as a whole. They are looking for the person with genuine interest in ILR and are not sending off acceptances aimlessly.</p>
<p>diehldun i did not post to get the third degree from u…and i hope ur nor applying to cornell period, becuase they can read through ur stuipidity…think of it this way if I wanted to apply to the easiest school i would apply to ecology and i would also choose a secondary option as a backup.</p>
<p>and your post is jsut spaming my thread, without answerin the question…so i would appreciate it if NO ONE posts here unless they stay on topic.</p>
<p>diehldun is absolutely right. In addition, diehldun is a full-time Cornell student (so much for your theory of “stuipidity”). </p>
<p>I’ll answer your questions. I work with admissions in ILR:
“Is it true that ILR is easier to get into?”
Answer: no. </p>
<p>“do they have less applicants than other schools?”
Answer: no. </p>
<p>plzaccept1989, I hope you didn’t use the same grammar and tone in your application essays. On further thought, I hope you did.</p>
<p>Let’s just say you’re off to a very bad start plzaccept1989..</p>
<p>For all of you that have been attacking me…</p>
<p>I did not feel like i have to explain myself to u…but apparently i do…i am not accustomed to ppl jumpin to conclusions…but apparently that is the trend among u guys (or maybe that is the way u think)…either way</p>
<p>the reason i asked is because i was having a discussion with a freind who told me ILR was easier to get into (after i applied) and i told him no it is not, but he got me thinking that no matter what some of the schools have to be easier than others maybe it is ILR, wither way i really like the program…but if everyone there is like u guys and is just as judgemental i prob wouldnt like it there.</p>
<p>so if u dnt wana answer my question/post something productive go strt ur own thread and get off mine</p>
<p>Good luck plzaccept1989 
!</p>
<p>thx cdog, i hope the ppl at cornell are more like u than what i have seen so far</p>
<p>plzaccept1989: I understand completly what you are saying. I was in the same situation (I got into ILR). I was really interested in the program but was a little confused on how “easy” it was to get into out of pure curiousity. Okay, with that said, Gomestar and diehldun are correct in that it may have a higher percentage of acceptance, but that it is self selecting and that scores do not mean as much as genuine fit for the program. So, I feel that your question and sentiments are perfectly understandable as the whole Cornell admissions process can be confusing, but the correct answer to your question is that it is just as hard to get into as other schools at Cornell, but for unique reasons other than SAT scores.</p>
<p>“i am not accustomed to ppl jumpin to conclusions”
and you jumped down diehldun faster than a jackrabbit on crack. </p>
<p>“.but if everyone there is like u guys and is just as judgemental i prob wouldnt like it there.”
…as you judge us in that very sentence. Oh the irony!</p>
<p>i did not judge diehldun, he judged me andtherefore I simply stated i didnt not like how he was judgmental, he automatically assumed I was lookin for a cheap way in…</p>
<p>and as for you get ur vocab right wat ur (incorectly) describin is not irony its hypocracy…</p>
<p>Haha, you guys are too vicious.</p>
<p>plzaccept1989, I hope these guys don’t influence your opinion on all ILRies. You did nothing wrong initially IMO, so diehldun’s condescending attitude (that’s how I perceived his post anyway) was unwarranted. As for your original question, the belief that ILR is easy to get into is pretty dated. It may have been in the past since the school is relatively small and the college application process was less competitive, but more and more people are hearing about the school, and applications go up every year. And as a rule, “easier to get into” and “college” really don’t belong in the same sentence in this day and age.</p>
<p>Hope that answers your questions/erases any doubts.</p>
<p>diehldun didn’t judge you at all - you jumped right down his throat. Lets review:</p>
<p>“I simply stated i didnt not like how he was judgmental”</p>
<p>Is that what you simply stated? I thought you stated: “and i hope ur nor applying to cornell period, becuase they can read through ur stuipidity”. </p>
<p>“and as for you get ur vocab right wat ur (incorectly) describin is not irony its hypocracy…”</p>
<p>oh, sorry! Glad to see you’re a self described hypocrite. And stop sending me private messages asking me if I’m a “high up” person in admissions or “just a letter opener” who you believe “i just dnt think they would be much more qulaifed than i am to answer them.”</p>
<p>gomsetar, since u seem to be all knowing when it comes to cornell admissions.</p>
<p>obviously one school is easier to get into than the others…wat are the mathematical odds they are all just as easy…especially with the land grant school some of which have agreements with NY community colleges for guranteed…</p>
<p>basically which is teh easiest to get into…there obviosuly has to be one and it wont change wat i already applied to…just simple curiosity</p>
<p>the school with the highest acceptance rate has the highest SAT averages, the school with the lowest acceptance rate has the lowest SAT averages … and all of the schools in between each have their individual criterion for admissions (I got into my school, I couldn’t get into other schools at Cornell … the same holds true for the vast majority of successful applicants). </p>
<p>You think it has to be a clear cut answer … it is not.</p>
<p>does anybody have a link to the SAT scores for each college?</p>
<p>gomestar i would like i link to that information…i find it real interesting how the school with the lowest acceptance rate could hae the lowest sat scores…im not sayin it should have the highest, but i find it oddfor ut to hae the lowest, i would really apreciate a link to your source of information</p>
<p>^You find it hard to believe only because you have an imperfect understanding of “selectivity.” CCers tend to equate selectivity with SAT scores. For most schools, that works out fine since most schools only consist of 1-2 colleges (usually a liberal arts college and an engineering school). Cornell is unique in that it has many colleges, most of which are very specialized. Only the engineering school and CAS resembles most of the other top colleges. Not surprisingly they have the best SAT scores out of all of Cornell’s colleges. The hotel school and the architecture/fine arts school are very selective as they are tops in their respective fields. However, Cornell recognizes that what makes a good hotel manager or artist is not necessarily the same as what makes a good academic. Thus, Cornell places more emphasis on work experience, essays, portfolio, etc. for its admissions to these schools.</p>
<p>i want to know where u guys are getting the info from…either back it up with data or i dnt wana hear it</p>
