<p>I'm applying to ILR RD...it's my first choice so I'm wondering whether or not anyone here currently attends the school or who knows how people that attend it feel. There's only so much the site and pamphlet can tell me. I'd like to know a student's perspective/ thoughts :) So I'd really appreciate it if anyone can comment or message me about the school!</p>
<p>The school is a pro-union propaganda bastion. Lots of reading about boring union crap, while unions will die off soon anyways cause everyone knows they are corrupt. Lots of core requirements means little time for electives. Basically most people do law school or Human Resources afterwards. I didn't know u needed a college degree for hr lol. And if you want to be a lawyer there are so many other interesting majors to pursue</p>
<p>I love how all 16 of your posts here say the EXACT SAME thing. Get a life, cornellstudent; I certainly hope you aren't a "Cornell Student" because if you are, I'm embarassed at your astronomical shallowness.</p>

<p>look ILR was founded to be pro-union...yes they are dying out but that does not mean that certain unions are not powerful (USW, UAW, etc)..</p>
<p>the ILR brochure is wonderful...there are plenty of room for electives i dont know *** he is talking about...maybe not so much for transfers but that's b/c most of their elective credit has been fulfilled at their former institution...</p>

<p>I applied ED to ILR, my major hook was over 350 hours working with the AFL-CIO in my area (and as a result I met a lot of state afl and gov officials). Personally I've had a fantastic exeprience and have found eveything to be very honest. At least in my division (which is the second/third biggest in NYS) all expenses had to be accounted to the penny. Anyways I wouldnt worry too much about pro-union propaganda, theres a lot morer to ILR than unions although historically speaking that have a ton to offer and study. While I was going through some old papers I cam across reg books and minutes reports dating from the 50's which I thought were pretty awesome. Well anyways I got defered along with a ton of other very qualified new yorkers I know so obviously it didnt help that much but whatever. I have a feeling RD is going to be very competitive.</p>

<p>Actually, 3/4 of your classes as an ILR student will be electives.</p>

<p>Cornellstudent, you sound jaded and bitter about your ILR experience because you thought it would be something it is not. More importantly, the amount of misinformation you are spewing on these boards serves no constructive purpose. For everybody's sake, please find somewhere else to vent your own insecurities.</p>
