<p>I applied ED CAS for with Econ Major. If you want to add to tally</p>
<p>@CeLcel, If you want to send the email, feel free, but in my opinion there is no point. You knew that you were taking a risk by taking the November SAT. However, it also says somewhere on the website that if all they are waiting for is an SAT II, they will review your application, and just add it when it arrives. In all honestly, emailing them and having them sort everything out will take more than the 4 days that it was delayed for. If you are really worried, I’d call, but again, it’s all up to you, do what you think you need to. </p>
<p>Well I have already taken the subject test, I retook. Would there be two check marks now?</p>
<p>@Cornell19, I sent in 4 subject tests, but only have 1 checkmark, I believe the check just represents that they ahve received (a) subject test(s) from you, with no specifics on how many </p>
<p>@jamesjunkers @Cornell19 I sent in 2, but I had two checkmarks. </p>
<p>I just checked the status of my application and it said that I need to file a student tax report for 2013 and that the due date was November 1. My parents submitted their tax report, but I never realized that I needed to file one. I am applying for financial aid. I’m freaking out right now, what should I do? Is it too late to do anything? Will I still be eligible for financial aid? Will they still read my application?</p>
<p>you have two check marks in total? Or two check marks in one column such as “mathematics” or “science”</p>
<p>There’s a question I can’t seem to find the answer to. Does anyone know what the College of Human Ecology means by “fit”? Is it demonstrated interest, how much your essay shows your attraction to the college, or…? I’m wondering this because I’ve been reading that the College of Human Ecology is less “numbers driven” and more on “fit”. But the term fit is so vague. Perhaps I’m over thinking this, but if anyone out there would like to share their opinion on the term “fit”, I would be grateful. </p>
<p>@BearBear10312, you’re not over thinking it at all. Cornell, in general, is all about fit. They have enough 4.0’s, 33’s, and 2200’s applying. What they care about is that you are applying to the right school/major for you. Why are you applying to human ecology? Is it because you think it’s easier? Or is because your whole life, you’ve wanted to influence the making of a law, and all of your extra curriculars show it, so you can write an awesome essay about how the policy analysis and management is perfect for you? Obviously, the latter is better. </p>
<p>So the simple answer is yes. It does mean your essay must be fit. And it does mean that you have interest in your area of study. </p>
<p>If you have a 2400 and a 4.0 unweighted, and you apply to engineering, and you write your essay about how you dislike math, and you’ve never taken an advanced calc course nor Phyiscs course, the chances are, you’re not getting in. But if you have a 2000 and a 3.6, and you’re the captain of your math team, you’re on robotics, and your essay describes your love for Taylor Series, and how they have impacted your life, you have a much better chance. </p>
<p>Cornell wants to know you’re suited for your area of study. </p>
<p>Sorry for typos, I’m on my phone </p>
<p>@BearBear10312 I agree, very vague. If I had to guess, “fit” would be based off your essays and how your personality/hobbies/interests align with those of that school? Like maybe if some kid had a 1600 but appeared that he was gaming the system to get in to Cornell easier and then transfer to AEM they may deny him/her. If a less qualified applicant applied but was genuinely passionate and able to convey her love for what he/she does in his/her essay, they would take that person instead.</p>
<p>I checked the website and they did not say December 11 was the day results came out. The information on here is not always correct. I would wait until the official Cornell Website states the day for ED results. </p>
<p>@Cornell19 I applied to COE as independent major, expressing interest in comp. sci and math. Will they penalize me for not applying to CAS and double majoring? The reason I didnt do so is because 1. The requirements in CAS scare me a little, too many arts/humanities courses and 2. I didnt have the foreign language requirement. Both of which I didnt mention in the essay. Also, I didnt apply to CAS as a secondary school option. I did express my love for solving problems in mathematical and computational perspective and I talked about a research project being headed by a Biomedical ENGINEER and how I wanted to contribute. Am I thinking too much??? I am scared that they will start to wonder why I applied to Engineering, but as you said, I am taking admission into a “harder” college so its not like I am applying to the Hotel school and switching to COE/CAS. Should I worry?</p>
<p>I really hate when people say the hotel school is the easiest. And this is coming from someone applying to AEM, the lowest acceptance rate throughout Cornell. </p>
<p>90% of the people accepted to Cornell would not be accepted to the hotel school, and 90% of the people accepted to the hotel school would not be accepted to the other schools. This is where the fit comes in. </p>
<p>An engineer with a 2400/4.0 is not guaranteed acceptance to the hotel, in fact, I’m quite sure they’d have a very difficult time getting in. So please don’t say it’s a joke school. </p>
<p>Rant over </p>
<p>@jamesjunkers I never said that it was a joke, what I was referring to was how @Cornell19 mentioned that if the adcom sees that someone who applied to ECE will later switch to AEM. My take on this was just that I did not apply to the hotel school, the school with the highest acceptance rate, while talking about my interest in math and comp. sci, if i had done so, i know I would get rejected as I completely ignore the values needed for the hotel school. My worry is that I fit in two colleges, but as an independent major I applied to COE talking about my interest in math and comp. sci. both of which are in CAS, but I didnt apply to CAS for the reasons I mentioned already. So what will they see this as?</p>
<p>@BearBear10312 When I went to an info session, though not for COE, the admission officer that they were looking for people who can “do the work and be happy” there. </p>
<p>So I guess “fit” —> “can do the workload and be happy [with the curriculum]”?</p>
<p>@CeLcel with the curriculum and Cornell in general, everything from research opportunities to intramural clubs.</p>
<p>@BearBear10312 How did you approach the essay?</p>
<p>someone would also be stealing a seat from another person who is genuinely interested in pursuing that field. One student from the hotel school applied her work to create a charity or something for kids in third world countries. Imagine for a second if you robbed her of that spot just so you could get in transfer. Your entire career would be based off of robbing an opportunity from someone who really wants and deserves it and work like that girls would never be done. I dream of getting the privilege of going to SHA so that in the long run i can start a consulting firm one day to help families struggling with business in the service industry. My family struggled and we were poor for a period of time. If we could have gotten guidance from someone as to how to better manage out stores, perhaps my family would not have gone through all the dysfunctions financial struggles lead to. I want the opportunity to study how to be successful within the service industry so that i can share my expertise with others who struggled like we did. No family should have to go through what my family went through because of a failing business. The aem program has been ranked as the top third best undergraduate business program for a third year in a row now by businessweek but i promise you admissions officers are wise to those applying to an “esay school” and trying to do an internal transfer. this holds true for transfers from other majors and schools as well. @jamesjunkers, thanks for sticking up for hoteleis! i think thats the first time i ever saw someone do that. ive heard that they get picked on a lot for being an “easier school” but like you said, Cornell really does look for a good fit. Even if ones stats are good, a lack of passion will easily be seen. thats all i have to say on the subject</p>
<p>so am i screwed in my case?</p>
<p>I really like how we got this conversation going…
Throughout my whole application I showed my passion for business management and AEM and I also showed another side of me with acting/film activities that put a spin on my application. I clearly made evident that AEM is right for me… But my 1980 is what I think will get me a rejection. </p>
