<p>If I want to go into medicine, which of the Cornell colleges should I apply to? THe college of arts and sciences? I hear it's the largest undergrad college at cornell, is it one of the easier to get into college?</p>
<p>No...CAS is one of the more difficult colleges to gain entrance to. It's large because it has so many majors. </p>
<p>For the purpose of pre-medical studies...it doesn't really matter which college you enroll in at Cornell (although AAP and Hotel won't help you much :-) ). You just have to take the basic pre-med requirements and make sure your ECs involve research/community service/clinical exposure. But...you can literally study whatever you want.</p>
<p>which of the colleges would you recommend? I mean an easier to get into one.</p>
<p>The "ease" for getting into a school depends on many factors.</p>
<p>Engineering has the highest acceptance rate...but you need the numbers. CALS is easier if you're an NYS resident and show you clearly benefit from the CALS curriculum. </p>
<p>I can't even begin to recommend a college without knowing more about your stats, interests, ECs and such.</p>
<p>CAS is definitely one of the hardest to get into</p>
<p>minus the college of engineering, hotel, and agric, which college would be easier?</p>
<p>If you exclude CALS...then HumEc and CAS are really your only other options for science-type majors. HumEc only has 2 science related majors: Nutritional Sciences and Human Biology, Health and Society. It's a great choice if you're an NYS resident. I'm not sure of their admission rates for out of state applicants....but a lot of applicants often have difficulty writing the "Why HumEc?" essay because they don't clearly understand the the HumEc education mission.</p>
<p>thanks dewdrops. what if i want to go into law?</p>
<p>Again....study whatever you want. CAS, HumEc and ILR provide excellent programs for students who want to study law after college.</p>
<p>Is human ecs reasonably easier to get into? Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>it sounds like at this point you're just going to apply to any random cornell college based on how easy it is. study what you want to study...don't rush toward cals/hum ec because the acceptance rate is slightly higher...would you be happy study nutritional sci for 4 years straight? if not, don't apply for that major just because it's 'easier'</p>
<p>anyway I think hum ec is one of the colleges that receives state funding, so if you're from NY, it'll be slightly easier to gain acceptance...plus slightly cheaper.</p>

<p>im thinking law, forget about the medical field</p>
