<p>I’m an applicant to Cornell’s ILR School. From the research I’ve done and what I was told in my interview, the individual colleges within Cornell University are very selective when it comes to choosing students who are appropriate for that specific school; while you are clearly an excellent all-around student with high merit, it’s possible that you may have been rejected due to a lack of specific qualifications for the engineering program at Cornell (I don’t see any relevant experience or indicators of scientific mastery).</p>
<p>Good luck! I’m sure you’ll get into several of those other institutions so you shouldn’t worry too much.</p>
