the schools

<p>I know engineering has the highest acceptance rate, but which one is the easiest to get into? is it also engineering, or are they all pretty even?</p>

<p>i think the public ones are easier to get into, especially if you're in state. but even then those aren't exactly easy to get into. </p>

<p>and engineering has the highest acceptance rate, but it also attracts more of the smarter students, i guess? </p>

<p>(this is from what i think i heard before... so if i'm wrong please correct me. this question has been asked and answered before, so... just search the forum i guess.)</p>

<p>??? I thought engineering and CAS had the lowest acceptance rate... The public ones like CALS and Human Ecology are probably really easy to get into.</p>

<p>Wow.</p>

<p>they're all pretty even in difficulty. </p>

<p>hotel has low acceptance rate, but really low average stats. Engineering is the opposite. All of the toher schools fall somewhere in between.</p>

<p>SorGirl: Sorry, I know that came off bad. I was just trying to reassure the OP.</p>

<p>You really can't look at stats when comparing Cornell's colleges and schools because each one looks for different things. If you apply to ILR with a 2400/4.0/etc, but you don't have any experience with community service or work, or you eff up your interview, you're probably not going to get in. "Difficulty" means something else when you are applying to a specialized school like one of Cornell's, since you're being evaluated in the context of that field. Another example is CAAP - if you apply for the arts major, you need to have artistic ability, not good standardized test scores. One last example is CALS, where you apply to one major. The admissions committee reviews applications by major, not by geographic region or anything. They have some people designated to read the applications to certain majors, and other people reading applications to other majors. If you apply to the wrong one and your background doesn't support it, you won't have a good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>I have two questions, what is the "hotel" school and what does OP stand for?</p>

<p>It's a college in Cornell and OP is original poster.</p>

<p>"but you don't have any experience with community service" REALLY? I didn't realize that that was a specific good thing for ILR. I had 400 hours of it so I guess it was more important than I thought.</p>

<p>None of them are easy to get into, and NY'ers don't have an advantage getting into any college...perhaps even a disadvantage since there are so many of them applying (but they do consist of a pretty large part of the class...so don't fret too much). The thing that helps when you're from NY is the discounted college cost to some of the schools.</p>

<p>and finally : .... ur a strange on rapport</p>

<p>No I realized it was a school in Cornell, I meant what is the school for? It can't really have anything to do with hotels, can it?</p>

<p>The hospitality and tourism industries. Graduates work in management positions at places like the Four Seasons or the Hilton hotels.</p>

<p>Or even go into business. I know a Junior in the Hotel School who interned with Wells Fargo Bank, and is now planning on going for her MBA later on.</p>

<p>I think it's the best in the world too...so it's a great school and teaches fun classes from wat I hear</p>
