<p>Thanks for the aswers Unibames</p>
<p>Oh, and I’m only considering marketing because I’ve also considered working in advertising or marketing, which actually makes me think of another question. Will the marketing specialization do well at preparing me for a career in those fields? Thanks in advance</p>
<p>@Unibames,</p>
<p>How about Cornell safety issue?</p>
<p>What do you think about Cornell rape case ? (Cornell wrestler as rape suspect)</p>
<p>Oldfort has over 20+ years experience in the finance world, one child who graduated from Cornell and is working in IB and another currently attending Cornell.</p>
<p>Why would any reasonable intelligent person question her advise? What could she possibly gain by advising wrong or inaccurate information?</p>
<p>And (#104)…really? Aren’t you the intelligent medical school student? Substitute any number of things into your statement and see if you still stand by it. How about George Wallace and the south, Westboro Baptist Church, etc.</p>
<p>I just do not understand the disrespect for an accomplished person vs a younger, certainly less experienced student.</p>
<p>Agentlionheart:</p>
<p>That’s cool. Go for it then. Its always good to have other options open as well. Advertising can still be quite lucrative.</p>

<p>Cornell is safe. These kind of risksare inherent in any college campus or elsewhere. Its not like Cornell breeds the men into rapists. Women here are certainly more cautious and I walk my fiance home every night if its dark out as a precaution though. The CUPD patrols really well too. They even cover parts of collegetown. As for what I think of the case, the wrestler guy’s a meathead, would not be surprised.</p>
<p>Morrismm:</p>
<p>All oldfort has contributed is challenging my admission to Wharton, saying I’m not in a fraternity somehow suggesting they’re some kind of authority on greek life and my fraternities proceedings, and continues to doubt how I’m working this summer. I have no respect for them and could care less. It doesn’t change these actualities and I’ve no reason to tell people otherwise. I’ve met accomplished people and they have a whole lot more class and valuable time than to be disputing a college kid over an internet forum. But whatever floats their boat, I kill my free time playing guitar, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>Peace all and grats to Cornell admits. Continue to ask and I shall answer.</p>

<p>I’m a prospective transfer student. Does it matter if my current degree is different from my desired Cornell degree program?</p>
<p>I found Cornell to be quite safe, granted I’m a male and that makes a huge difference. That said, like any college, there are inherent risks in being out late at night with thousands of young people drinking in a relatively close proximity. I had an incident where someone attempted to mug me who was completely drunk (to be more specific, I think he was really looking to scare me more than anything else). Granted, I put my 12+years of karate to use and made him regret choosing me as a target (don’t worry, no one was actually injured since I know how to handle a situation with minimal force).</p>
<p>^Really? Did it look like a student or someone else?</p>
<p>Quite honestly my guess is that it was a freshman who had WAY to much to drink at some fraternity pledging event. While he said he was trying to mug me (and was flailing a stick around my face), my read of the situation is that he was just trying to scare me. I really think if I handed him my wallet, he wouldn’t have taken it and admitted he was messing with me. That said, I’m no pushover (nor do I take chances) and I took his stick from him at which point he realized he was not in control and immediately apologized.</p>
<p>One of the RAs on my floor was walking back to North Campus earlier this year. A car hit him running a red light. He yelled at them, and they proceeded to get out of the car and beat him into a coma.</p>
<p>So Cornell is mostly safe, but I’m more comfortable walking in groups at night.</p>
<p>Question: What GPA does a CAS Econ/Gov major need to get a BB banking job?</p>
<p>Top fraternities will take some sophomores and juniors. It helps if you are involved in student activities. I know a few transfers who got into top fraternities. </p>
<p>Same with sororities. I know that Theta took several transfers this year.</p>
<p>Also Unibames sounds like a huge ****** bag. I think I know who this person is but that would depend on him being in either alpha delt or a jewish frat.</p>
<p>Lol @Saugus.</p>
<p>College freshmen’s obsession with bulge bracket banks is hilarious.</p>
<p>Thankyou for starting this thread! </p>
<p>I have some questions that I wanted to ask…</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How is the ILR like? Is it really true that it’s not as academically competitive? I’ve heard that ILR doesn’t give alot of homework, etc, so I just wanted a confirmation.</p></li>
<li><p>How is life like at cornell? Is is easy to get involved in? Are there alot of fees to enjoy the full experience at school?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it easy to transer from different colleges in cornell?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I have so many questions, but these are the ones I want to post up so far. Thanks once again</p>
<ol>
<li><p>ILR does not have a reputation for being academically competitive. The only complaints you’ll ever hear is that they have a lot of reading to do. </p></li>
<li><p>Yes, it’s very easy to get involved. Some things have fees, most do not. It really depends on the activity and how much it costs to enjoy that activity…</p></li>
<li><p>It’s usually easy to transfer (except into AEM by reputation). If your grades are particularly low, transferring can be difficult.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do you know anything about the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning or the urban studies program at Cornell?</p>
<p>Hi Unibames,</p>
<p>I’m a Ma community college student. At the end of the fall 2013 semester I will be done with my associate in engineering and hoping to transfer to Cornell for the Spring 2014 semester. A lot of people have advised me not to apply for spring transfer, what is your take on that? </p>
<p>The engineering program at my community college is pretty good and I know of two people that have gotten in to Cornell. </p>
<p>My current GPA is 3.96
High school GPA is low( not sure of exact value)
I have 5 years of experience in the IT industry and can get a letter of recommendation from my old boss.
I’m 27 years old and I really do not want to wait and apply for fall 2014. </p>
<p>Any advice would be highly appreciated…thanks in advance.</p>
<p>So I have been accepted to Cornell ( GT) .There was the condition I make all A n B’s but I sadly had a C+ in organic chem 2, will Cornell rescind its decision , I am so freaked out I need advice, I however scheduled an appointment with the transfer coordinator and I was told this could change things, what do I do. Help!!</p>
<p>This is concerning transferring as a sophomore into the AEM program:</p>
<p>I’m sorry guys for posting this here, but it doesn’t seem as anyone else can help me answer this question. In my state university, Biology 1 and Biology 2 are weed-out courses designated for pre-med students and the like. While it is possible to take these courses for a non-science major, it is highly inadvisable. I emailed the admissions board, and they specified that students should take a cellular and an evolutionary biology course to fulfill the Biology requirement. I was wondering if it would be permissible to take a Biology 1 (for non-science majors; it is registered as a general education class rather than a tracking course for science majors) and a course such as “Microbiology and Cell Science” to fulfill the requirement (as there is no Biology 2 course that is designated for non-science majors) ? However, would taking Biology 1 and Biology 2 (designated for the science majors) be looked upon as the better alternative (in comparison to Biology 1 for non-science majors and “microbiology and cell science”)? </p>
<p>The above text is also loosely taken from the followup email I sent to Cornell, but unfortunately they didn’t answer the question being asked. Thanks for the help in advance.</p>
<p>These may have been asked already, but I’ll give it a shot:</p>

<li>What’s the best thing about going to Cornell?</li>
<li>What’s the worst thing about going to Cornell?</li>
<li>I’ve never really looked into applying to the school, but I’m considering a visit when I tour some East Coast schools next April – should I expect to get a lot out of a visit?</li>

<p>@alamode hi, i recently applied as a FSAD major and was wondering if it’s true that almost all ED applicants get deferred? </p>
