You are a very competitive applicant.

Cornells human ecology is easier to get into than the general college of arts and sciences. I firmly believe this (I was accepted into human ecology last year but decided to go to another university).

Your low grades (the 2 B’s and the C) can hurt you, but kudos to you for taking multivariable calc!

Test scores-phonomenal!

Your EC’s are strong. Definitely talk up your experiences (especially that internship).

Also, consider Georgetown’s health care management and policy program. You are surely a strong candidate for that school too.

Good luck!

I was accepted to the College of Human Ecology PAM class 2022. You are in great shape. Keep in mind that most applicants will have similar stats. Your priority should be your personal statement. Think and plan. Answer all parts of the question. Show how you fit in Human Ecology and PAM. Best of luck!
