<p>mingzhi - I am not trying to be insensitive to your situation, but didn’t you post in the transfer thread that you were rejected by the ILR School as a transfer? If so, then what can be gained by your questions now? </p>
<p>The answers supplied to your questions about ILR and other schools were not constructive criticism and they will not help prospective students make well-informed decisions about Cornell.</p>
<p>@cormom15: No, you’re not. As you have read my previous posts, I’m sure you see my interest in a second attempt. No matter what I want to learn about Cornell and OP already state that CC members can ask him/her “anything about Cornell.”</p>
<p>And well, at least from the answers I see why an individual gets admitted: S/he knows what and how s/he thinks and s/he dares to let others know. Having said that, I think I should also thanks a HUMEC student for s/he also straightforwardly expresses his/her passion for what s/he’s doing (guess that’s one of “…something about HUMEC that interests me.”)</p>
<p>As I’m the one who asked and now feel that I know something from the answers, don’t you think it’s time to move on and let this thread function the way it’s supposed to do?</p>
<p>mingzhi - fair enough. I am done trying to help.</p>
<p>I hope you will get the proper information that you are looking for about Cornell here. There are many positive and decent posts that you can follow if you should decide that this one is not. </p>
<p>The very best to you.</p>
<p>I’m not sure why everyone’s piling on Unibames. It’s just his opinion and, right or wrong, there are many on campus with those same views of ILR, Hotel, etc.</p>
<p>Drama. ^^ What seems to upset people most is that I am brutally honest about how I think. A lot of people appreciate how I don’t tend to sugarcoat how I feel about a matter. Regardless, I have helped people here, I’ve gotten many messages from people saying that I’ve helped them here and many more that ask me clarifying questions via email that I’m happy to help with. You don’t approve of my thoughts. Okay, I really just do not care. You can A. Dispute them. B. Stop reading them. or C. Continue telling me to stop saying them. In which case, you may want to re-evaluate your citizenship in a democratic country. China does censorship better than we do. After all, look what fascism did to Italy.</p>
<p>alamode: I don’t want to break down what you are obviously proud of and built up for four years of your life. As my fiance actually just graduated Parsons she even recognizes that anything remotely academic is not recognized in the fashion industry. It’s an industry based purely on aesthetics. No one will care about your senior thesis, I haven’t seen your 20 piece collection but nothing in the CFC Fashion Show has wowed me in comparison to Parsons. I won’t get into direct comparison of the rigors the two of us face in our academics and extracurriculars. I’ll just say this: I’m not impressed. </p>
<p>fourtops: He is seriously taking the time to carefully select things I said to organize it into a post that nobody cares about? No…Comment.</p>
<p>cormom15: How long must I be on-campus exactly? What matters to prospective applicants is that I am actually in Cornell, and a lot more that I’m actually in AEM, not how long I was. That I went through the admissions process and made the cut. If you asked most prospective applicants if they cared they would not. Hence why I have plenty emailing me and asking me to critique their essays or what not. What is all this about the university’s underlying philosophy? Relax, remember this is just a forum. I’m not “attacking your D” or implying how naive I think you’re being.</p>
<p>Greenwitch and norcalguy: These two people get it. Even norcalguy recognizes what I do, that many people on-campus believe this. Guess what? They are OUR PEERS. Should they not all be there because of this “Cornell’s underlying philosophy”? People just aren’t as outspoken about it as I am. My good friend, big role in student assembly, orientation leader, part-time tour guide, huge involvement with Cornell even told me in confidence that he thought “hotel, ilr, fsad” detract Cornell from being taken as seriously as other Ivy League schools. These thoughts, which are held among many there will not go away because of me or you telling me I should not be saying them.</p>
<p>Greenwitch gets it. Dismissing the validilty of one’s opinion is just asinine. Is history no better teacher of this? Don’t agree with me. Yell, punch a wall, spit on your computer screen, just don’t tell me I’m not entitled to say what I do. I don’t feel “bullied” though. They can all gang-up on me and whine all they want. When I see a question from a prospective student with a genuine interest in Cornell I’ll just answer it and not contribute to their little rage-fest here. I love cormom15’s comment. I was asked to stop? Lol, k, mom. </p>
<p>As for oldfort, I’m making informed statements from what I know about my major, the university, what people tell me here, what my friends who actually attend here do, and if I don’t know something as strongly I recommend an external website on Cornell’s website and refer them to a contact that would likely know this information. Did you live under your rock your first semester of college? I engaged everyone right when I set foot on this campus. I know more about Cornell than people in my same class year that were here as freshmen. I’ve even met with administrators at the Dyson School and was asked how to add more value to the AEM program. I made good use of my short time here at Cornell. Saying I can’t be informed because I’ve been here a semester is just laughable. </p>
<p>mingzhi: Look at minghzi. They recognized that they started this by asking my opinion on the schools be summarizing them in a word. I did that. Hey, I kind of warned everyone beforehand. Make this less about me and more about Cornell. But hey, as for HUMEC, definitely some good programs in there. I have many good friends in PAM and some pre-med bio’s if you’re interested in that minghzi.</p>
<p>As for everyone. If you make this about what I think, you’ll get a straight answer. Greenwitch was right, you’ll get the scoop on what they don’t put in a glossy brochure for you (most of which are outdated too). This is coming from a guy who actually got many friends internally-transferred into AEM by reviewing and critiqueing essays, working on a website devoted to “mentoring” prospective students to get into their dream tier-1 school, and getting messages from students on this site who have been successful in their admission to Cornell and other schools. Ask or don’t ask. That’s all. </p>
<p>Peace, and remember, it’s just a forum.</p>
<p>P.S: </p>
<p>Don’t take my word for it: [■■■■</a> Cornellians at Cornell Say | Campus Basement](<a href=“http://campusbasement.com/cornell/comedy/videos/4446/****-cornellians-at-cornell-say-2]■■■■”>http://campusbasement.com/cornell/comedy/videos/4446/****-cornellians-at-cornell-say-2)</p>
<p>I was just wondering what your opinion was on AEM vs CAS majoring in Econ, whether or not the difference is negligible or if there are clear advantages for either course</p>
<p>They’re both equal in recruiting. Lots of my friends in econ take AEM classes and I take their econ classes. Awesome recruiting for finance jobs since they learn what is important for it as we do. I have helped two people internally-transfer from Econ into AEM though. The whole “applied” part into our major name is definitely true of AEM. There are excellent classes in both though. Ivies that aren’t Cornell or UPenn (without undergraduate business schools) their business equivalent is usually something like Economics. You learn how and why the economy works. AEM teaches the same but is more of a “work-ready” major. I’ve no aspirations to go to grad school right away, maybe not even at all? Who knows. But that is just me. There is no clear advantage. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with a friend of mine majoring in Econ, via message please.</p>
<p>For the most part, it’s pretty much the same. However, AEM has been trying to shift to a program that offers its students more edge. I know some Econ kids and they often complain that they are not as prepared for things outside the classroom, whereas AEM kids are told how to create resumes etc. and get mentors during their freshman year. There are also workshops and sessions on how to leverage AEM seniors to get internships etc. You could say that AEM kids have more resources at their disposal, but if you’re a go-getter in Econ you could find these things yourself. I enjoyed the classes that I took with emphasis on applications in the business world and really getting to know all the other students in my year well. You get more of the community feel in Dyson, though this diminishes after the first year when transfers add to the class size. Choose whichever interests you more – though if you’re interested in marketing or accounting, I would say choose AEM.</p>
<p>I have a question about freshman roommate selection…
Do international students get American students as roommates???</p>
<p>Yes, you potentially can but they’re usually good at pairing you off properly to make you feel more at home. No worries!</p>
<p>I think I’ll prefer an international roomate and would want Holland International Living Center. Although I can’t find so much on google, is this place great for people who have been there or are there?</p>
<p>Sure, I know one person that lives there. Popular for Asians as a lot are from Asia. I know they like to have fun and organize a lot of activities there. I’d encourage you to look into it.</p>
<p>I’m looking into Program Housing, specifically the JAM house. Do you know anything about its quality, or how difficult it is to get in at all? The website says only like 144 people dorm there, and given the enrollment… doesn’t look good.</p>
<p>It is tough to get into. My friend who has some rock band on-campus lives there. Might not look good, but you’ll never know unless you apply. Good luck!</p>
<p>I have a GT to CALS. For midterm report I have all As and one C. The C isn’t a C anymore, but the prof won’t include anything but one test. What can I do? I was thinking of sending my online grades that show all my work for this course and that I have a B, but it’s an unofficial record. I have a 3.8 for first semester and met all requirements but for this one issue. Suggestions?</p>
<p>How hard is pre-med at cornell? Is it as cut throat as they say? Is S better off at Binghamton where he has a better shot at a higher GPA?</p>
<p>HELP NEEDED!!!
I just received my application activation code. After creating my account, I saw all the paper material (transcript, college official report, recommendation etc.) are not checked off the list although they have been mailed two weeks ago.
I just realized that I mailed my forms to the WRONG address. I mailed them to Cornell University:
Office of Undergraduate Admission
410 Thurston Avenue
Ithaca, NY 14850</p>
<p>rather than to a specific mail box they indicated on their website!!! which is,
Undergraduate Admissions Office
Cornell University
P.O. Box 516
Ithaca, NY 14851-0516</p>
<p>Will they be able to figure it out or do I have to email them??</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!!!</p>
<p>You’re fine. I sent mine to the wrong one too and they still end up sending it to the process center</p>
<p>Thanks lilmelonred!!
So I’ll probably just have to wait for like a week maybe??</p>
