<p>“Consider Art schools (RISD), Music schools (Julliard), and the special-focus schools at Cornell in Hotel Management, Industrial Relations, Architecture, and Agriculture. Students attending these special-focus schools have the highest level of ability in those specialties but don’t necessarily have the highest SATs.”</p>
<p>Your argument makes little sense for Cornell’s specialty schools. It is clear that you can demonstrate talent in art and music by sending supplements. How exactly does a 17 year old show special TALENT in a hotel management, industrial relations, architecture, or agriculture though? Be a waiter? lol</p>
