<p>Whenever I ask the question "what does cornell look for in a student" everyone says "well, well-rounded students and theres not a formula or an "ideal" application." Basically, that doesn't help to much. Do they want people who have over 400 service hours, people who are ranked number 1 at their school, or people who have had internships over the summer? There has got to be some "minimum" requirments to have a chance into getting into the school...does anyone have any suggestions? </p>
<p>I also realize that the different colleges at Cornell have different requirments, but I didn't know if their was some requirment for most of them, or something impressive that looks really good. </p>
<p>Just say anything you can think of! Tips, advice, questions, comments, concerns, etc!</p>
<p>Which college are you interested in?</p>
<p>appropriateness of your choice in major, leadership, and passion.</p>
<p>I'm interested in The College of Human Ecology and studying apparel/fiber design</p>
<p>appropriateness of major! What have you done to make that major a good "fit" for you?
It's especially true of the contract colleges.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how to prove my major is a good fit through my EC's. </p>
<p>I'm also applying for HumEc, for the Policy Analysis & Management major...what activities would prove my interest in that?</p>
