<p>I'm torn between ILR and Human Ecology (for Public Policy and Management). I have a strong background in government, and I plan on applying ED. I'm a better "fit" at ILR, since they have more particular things they're looking for, but I feel like my passion is more towards Public Policy. However the girl/guy ratio of HE applicants is discouraging. I think I would stand out more as an ILR applicant. </p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>Human Ecology has a higher acceptance rate, but remember most schools at Cornell look at “fit.” So if you think you fit better at ILR, apply to ILR</p>
<p>yeah with all seriousness check out the schools websites, visit, talk to students or professors or whatever you need to do, but it is definitely the easiest to get into the school that fits you and you’re interests best.<br>
plus it will be much easier to write your essays if you aren’t trying to bend the truth and pretend you’re interested in a college that you’re not.</p>
