<p>Between ILR and CAS which school has better placement at prestigious law schools/MBA programs?</p>
<p>how do you possibly expect this data to be accurately monitored??</p>
<p>haha, I don’t know, I am bored, just asking random questions to get a better feel for the school. I mean, I guess matriculation is monitored.</p>
<p>you’re starting to sound like one of those students who is just waiting for somebody to say something less than desirable about ILR so you can get that internal transfer app. going…</p>
<p>nope. I am a student who is really nervous and insecure and wants to confirm that he made the right decision by applying to school that actually interests him despite how many times people have questioned me (outside of this forum of course).</p>
<p>My hunch is you’ll find disproportionately much more ILRies in top law/mba programs, but of course there’s selection bias; CAS students as a whole are probably less likely to prospect law or business school, so it’s hard to say whether your own shot will be better or worse coming from ILR or CAS. </p>
<p>I would study what you enjoy studying, so you get a high GPA (most important) and can invest time in your LSATs if you intend to apply to law schools, not to mention enjoy college. For b-school the GPA bar is set much lower-- just get a good internship and good job after graduation and do well on the GMAT. ILR is good in regards to internships and job placement, but I’m not sure how the CAS program you’re interested in fares.</p>
<p>here is ILR: [ILR</a> Undergraduate Admissions: What Graduates Do](<a href=“http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/admissions/careers/graduates.html]ILR”>http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/admissions/careers/graduates.html)</p>
<p>i cant really find anything on CAS. have fun!</p>
<p>I feel the same way ABANKS, I applied to ILR, but now am having second thoughts because of their concreate curriculum. I liked it when I visited but I convinced myself that you can go on to any field from ILR. Now I am not so sure and rather confused.</p>
<p>people on here worry WAY too much. </p>
<p>“I am a student who is really nervous and insecure and wants to confirm that he made the right decision by applying to school that actually interests him despite how many times people have questioned me”</p>
<p>Nobody who knows anything about Cornell should question you. People probably assume ILR is like a vocational program and don’t understand that it is or what you can do with its degree. Having done research, you do understand that it’s the right decision. </p>
<p>“now am having second thoughts because of their concreate curriculum. I liked it when I visited but I convinced myself that you can go on to any field from ILR.”</p>
<p>unless your goal in life is to be an aeronautics engineer or a biological research scientist, I’d worry more about getting a high GPA from ILR than “limiting” you career options.</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess it is just that everytime I say “Industrial and Labor Relations” people do assume it is some kind of vocational training (like you said Gomestar), but then again, I guess I know the truth.</p>
<p>Dude…Do well in college, and you can get in anywhere you want…</p>
<p>Seriously. I know people out of ILR that has gotten into Harvard Law School.
I also know people in CAS that has graduated without a job offer.</p>
<p>Bottom line, if you work hard in college, do well on ur GMAT and LSAT, you are okay!</p>
<p>There are quite a few ILRies at top law schools, and I know three who are first-years at HLS now. One faculty member even refers to them as “The Cornell Three” because they know their stuff when it comes to labor (ironically, there’s a Cornell student from CAS in the class too, but isn’t labeled as one of the “Cornell Three”).
Truly, ILR might be the very best major at Cornell if your goal is to enter a top law or mba program. But if you’re miserable in ILR or aren’t doing well, then it’s also likely that studying one of the core social science disciplines in CAS would be better for you.</p>
