<li><p>I applied (and was accepted) to CALS for biometry and statistics, but I applied for a double major, my secondary being AEM. If I change my mind and decide that I like AEM better and want to dedicate my time to only that major, and not do a double, *how difficult would it be to transfer within CALS to a different major? what do you have to do in order to transfer?</p></li>
<li><p>To current Cornell students- do you know anyone in biometry+statistics? Is it an interesting major, easy/hard, good job placement?</p></li>
<li><p>If I get a single dorm, do I share a bathroom with the entire floor?</p></li>
<li><p>Is there a kitchen near each dorm? And can we bring a microwave?</p></li>
<li><p>How/when are freshman classes chosen?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Ha, I told you they were random Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
<p>I also have a random question. I got an acceptance letter but not a package. It said that in order to reserve a space, I should send in a ticket, but I didn't get a ticket!!
and also, is there any benefit to reserving a spot right now (could someone take my spot)? because Im still waiting for one more school on april 1</p>
<p>I dont have to send a deposit though, because the financial aid has waived the deposit fee. But could someone techincally take my spot if I dont make my decision until late April?</p>
<p>hmm i don't know if this will help much, but your dorm questions all depend on where you stay. you should check out: Housing</a> - Residence Halls</p>
<p>Yea...my question wasnt about dorming at all :)
I just wanted to know that if I make my college decision in late April, can someone take my spot?</p>
<p>As long as you were not accepted under an early binding program colleges are LEGALLY required to give you untill May1st to reply. This law wascreated to protect students from colleges requireing immediate responses to pressure students. =]</p>
<p>Jump-
I'm actually really close friends with a Biometry major. It's suited for him since he's a big sports guy and would like to be involved with sports in some way after graduation. I know that the hardest year for Biometry majors is sophomore year; however, all the other years for Biometry majors are relatively easy. I think the median grade of the introductory Biometry course was an A or A+. Also, I don't think you'll have much of a problem with double majoring in Biometry and AEM. The requirements for Biometry aren't too heavy. It's also a small department, so you'll get to know the other Biometry majors in your year. By the way, biometrists sometimes use a program called JMP (Jump), so it looks like you're suited for the major already. :P</p>
<p>As for switching to focus on just AEM, I'm not too familiar with how transferring majors in CALS works. I'm also not so sure about how picking classes works for CALS. However, since CALS has some specific class requirements, I believe that some classes will already be selected for you before you arrive on campus. I'll leave those questions for someone else to answer.</p>
<p>If you get a single, you will share a bathroom with some people in your hall. How many people you share a bathroom with depends on what dorm you're in. If you're in a suite-style dorm (High-Rise 5, Jameson, the Low-Rises), you'll share a bathroom with only about 5 or 6 people. The same goes for the newer buildings (Mews and Court-Kay-Bauer). The older, larger dorms (Dickson, Donlon) have bigger bathrooms that you may share with about 30 people in your hall. Also, I've never actually been in Balch (the all-female dorm), but I believe that they have "sinkrooms." Sinkrooms consist of a sink (obviously), and I heard that they are shared by girls in two adjacent rooms--great for brushing your teeth. Each hall also has a full bathroom that's shared by everyone in the hall. Honestly though, I don't know much about Balch, so I can't give specific details. I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong about anything.</p>
<p>There are kitchens in every dorm. The number of kitchens in a dorm depends on how large the building is, but you're guaranteed to have an accessible kitchen nearby. You can't have microwaves in your room, but each kitchen has its own microwave. An alternative to a microwave is a "microfridge." You can rent them from Cornell. It's basically a minifridge with a small microwave attached. You'll get more details about renting microfridges (and other things) in the upcoming mail that you'll get from Cornell.</p>
Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
