<p>School of Industrial and Labor Relations:
Describe your intellectual interests, their evolution, and what makes them exciting to you. In your essay please address how the ILR curriculum will help you fulfill these interests and your long-term goals.</p>
<p>anyone want to bounce some ideas off of each other.</p>
<p>hey now
stop making others do your homework
=P</p>
<p>hahhh, nice try though =D</p>
<p>This type of essay really needs to be personal to you. And it is fairly straightforward. Cornell wants you to identify some intellectual interest that led you to apply to ILR (talk about how that interest developed, for example, discuss an EC you might have had in HS that relates to it). Then they want you to explain why you want to come to Cornell in the context of showing how ILR will satisfy your academic interests or help you to achieve your career goals.</p>
<p>so for example, if I love theater and that has been something I'm passionate about and is clearly shown through my ECs, would it make sense to talk about how I want to go to ILR for human resources or statistics for a major theater company? The wording 'intellectual interest' is throwing me off, but does theater fit the criteria for that? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think you have to identify what ILR offers you in terms of career goals or your long range plans and then tie that into your passion, whether it be for theater or your ambition to get involved with a theater company.Perhaps that would work. I think they really want to find out what is making you apply to ILR. So you need to relate something specific about the ILR program ( to show your familiarity with it ) to your interests and goals.</p>
