<p>In less than 50 days we will know if we are Cornellians! </p>
<p>Coming from someone who is at Cornell as a Human Ecology student, take a lot of time to write that essay and make it really good. It will be a large portion of your application… Human Ecology has your typical “reqs” that are test scores, GPA, extracurriculars, etc but your essay and how you portray your fit with the school will go a long way…</p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon How is it being a Meinig Scholar? Do you know if ED students get it?</p>
<p>Fun Fact: Around 280 students are accepted each year into Human Ecology. </p>
<p>There are 7 majors…could that mean 40 students per major?</p>
<p>@Kungpaoasian 280 is the enrollment number, the acceptance number is much higher. This older stat <a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000003.pdf”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000003.pdf</a> shows 439 accepted to yield a class of 277</p>
<p>Thanks, @maxsdad, better than @Kungpaoasian’s “fun” fact. If I were to speculate, I’d say that the design majors have fewer students than the biological and PAM majors.</p>
<p>@connect1234 Hey…I thought it was a fun fact. </p>
<p>*Turns out it wasn’t a fact.</p>
<p>@Kungpaoasian, way too low a number to be fun…unless of course only 40 or so apply to our respective majors. <:-P
*Glad it wasn’t a fact.</p>
<p>@connect1234 Fun stands for: For Ur Nowledge. It’s not actually a fun fact. I thought everyone knew that… 
</p>
<p>@kungpaoasian. Nope, that would be FYK.</p>
<p>@connect1234 My fact was as accurate as my acronym.</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>we are a quiet bunch</p>
<p>@connect1234 5 applicants, 2 parents, and 1 student have been part of this bunch</p>
<p>I’m sure we’ll get another wave of people late November to early December. That’s how it was a week before the application deadline.</p>
<p>what do you think the acceptance rate would be for che ED? hope its generous :(</p>
<p>^ it all depends on the denominator (how many people apply) … the numerator(number accepted) is pretty much the same every year. </p>
<p>The overall acceptance for Human Ecology is around 30%. Does anyone know the ED acceptance rate? I’m also a bit worried that my gender will hurt my chances (Male) for PAM. Am I just over thinking it? </p>
<p>@BearBear10312 No one knows the ED acceptance rate for HumEc. So far everyone applying to PAM on College Confidential this year has been a male.</p>
<p>@BearBear10312, Considering that HumEc is heavily skewed female, I would think that being male is actually to your advantage (and I doubt they care about gender at the major level, PAM balances out the underrepresentation of males in fashion and tech., family policy, and some of the others).</p>
