<p>Given that the common app only allows you to put down 7 activities, should I put stuff specific to my major or should it look more well-rounded? </p>
<p>I am applying for the computer science major and I have plenty of ECs related to computer science that I can put in. But if all my ECs are programming-related, am I at a disadvantage for not being well-rounded? If so, I would put in some sports ECs there right?</p>
<p>In general, how does Cornell admit people? Do they see if they are the right person for the major or do they prefer well-rounded students as many universities seem to do?</p>
<p>if you're looking at engineering school, yes they look at some sort of well-roundedness but they have to see that you like what you are going to be doing.</p>
<p>I would do about 20%-70%-10% sports-programming-other</p>
<p>@chendrix Thanks for the reply. </p>
<p>On a related note, for computer science, is it easier to get into engineering or CAS? Just going by numbers, I heard that engineering is much easier. But personally, I am very focused on computer science (done a lot of projects, taken a couple of courses at a local university, etc. one of my recs is actually from a cs prof). So, which college would be better for me to apply to?</p>
