<p>Saugus—I agree with amazon that there is ambivalence about the primary/secondary school choice among Cornell Ad Coms. While there are several majors (Bio, CS) that could be pursued in more than one school, the very specialized programs, ILR & Hotel come to mind, really do not want to think that applicants are anything but passionate for one program. I am not saying that I agree with this but that I believe not all of the colleges are thrilled that the option exists. I think the university wants to continue offering this choice, and regional reps will encourage applicants to take advantage of it, but it is not popular at the college level, and admission decisions are made at the college level.</p>
<p>I would not be surprised to see it disappear, but that is just idle speculation on my part.</p>
<p>Both essays can be read by both or just the primary college. This appears somewhere on an Admissions Q & A page on the university’s site.</p>
