Why do YOU want to go to Cornell?

<p>I talked to an adcom on campus and told him I want to major in "Biology & Society". He said that many applicants use that major because it just seems kind of general and they don't know what they want to do. He asked me what I thought it was about and what I want to pursue, so I summarized in a few sentences, and he said that that fit what Bio and Soc is perfectly.</p>

<p>I also love how the university is divided into schools/colleges. I like CALS especially.</p>

<p>Oh and the BEAUTIFUL campus.</p>

<p>Great selection of classes, beautiful scenery, strong in sciences, perfect distance from home, highly selective (yes I am a perfectionist) and decent food!</p>

<p>I understand how ILR can be thought of as Marxist, but being an ILRie, it is not true. While there are union, labor, and plight of the workers stuff, there is also a substantial population of ILRies that go into finance, business, and HR. So, ILR is definitely more multifaceted than labor. Just look at the profile of the graduating class and there is a great diversity of both labor and business.</p>

<p>-Weather is my kind of weather
-Awesome TKD team
-Only Ivy I have a chance in
-The school of ILR. Absolutely flawless place for me.

<p>Did anyone go to Cornell's 2008 Transfer Day? I simply loved it!! I still can't stop thinking about it!</p>

<p>^^If you want to earn some brownie points...I know the CALS transfer admissions counselor and CALS Ambassadors Transfer Liaison would love to hear your thoughts about Transfer Day :-)....if you're applying to CALS, that is!</p>

<p>I was the Transfer Liaison in 2007 and I had a lot of fun working with the CALS admissions office to plan the day :)</p>

<p>I did!!!!!!!! I mention it on my essays and i loved the bio lecture room!! Gosh i loved everything!!! The students were so friendly to me!! Some of them did looked at me like "i never seen him" but i didn't care! Gosh everything was so perfect and I had a wonderful time there! The campus tour was awesome, the food was great, people helped us when I was looking at the map trying to figure out how to get the the biotechnology building! I just simply loved it :)!</p>

<p>Edit: Added more details</p>

<p>Yeah...I wish they'd be a little more descriptive with helping visitors find the Biotech Building...but I'm glad you enjoyed it!</p>
