<p>One of my friend told me to apply to cornell in Entomology or in something that people barely apply to just to get in? Also is it easy to transfer major in cornell?</p>
<p>lol... i dont know.. but anybody else has an idea..
it sounds cool...</p>
<p>It would be as wise as supporting President Bush's efforts in terrorism</p>
<p>This is generally not considered to be a good idea, but it has been done. Nobody really seems to know whether it gives you an advantage in the admissions process, but people try it anyway. I went to Cornell and I knew people who did this sort of thing, as well as others who changed majors or programs for different reasons. Please consider the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The Cornell Supplement to the Common Application requires students to explain how they developed an interest in the field they plan to major in and how Cornell's programs will help them achieve their goals. You would have to write an essay about your interest in and career plans in the field of entomology.</p></li>
<li><p>You will probably have an alumni interview. During that interview, you would have to discuss how you became interested in entomology and how a major in entomology will help with your career plans. You would need to be convincing.</p></li>
<li><p>If you get to Cornell, you would have to actually start the entomology major, which is not an easy program (the first few semesters consist largely of the same very rigorous fundamental science courses taken by biology majors and premedical and preveterinary students).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Once you're started in the major, it is not overwhelmingly difficult to switch to a different major or a different college within the university (although there is some sort of GPA requirement for the latter). But there is no absolute guarantee that you would be admitted to the other program (you usually have to achieve certain grades in the prerequisite courses), and if the other program is very different from entomology, it might take you more than eight semesters to graduate because you would be behind schedule in your new program.</p>
<p>your application has to contain something that will convince them that you are actually interested in Entomology or something obscure..
or else they will see through the "plan"</p>
<p>yah... iamdangermouse and marian are right...
its way too risky....</p>
