<p>Just out of curiosity why do so few people apply to the Human Ecology College? </p>
<p>Also, why do so many girls and so few guys apply?</p>
<p>Is it realistic to go to the Human Ecology College and then apply to med-school?</p>
<p>many ppl apply to med skool from human ec. There are many girls cus there is a textile major, and a nutritional science major, both of which are very popular with girls. So few ppl apply because the majors there are quite specific and arent the generic…english or biology. Its for people with specific interest. Plus HE isnt doing a good job of advertising itself as well as CALS and CAS.</p>
<p>Oh…ok…</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification…</p>
<p>well, HE is doing a lot of recruitment, but it’s a very small school compared to CALS and Arts, and so it just doesn’t have the manpower, however, it is a lot more personal and intimate, in which they ask their students to do phon-a-thons to interested hs schools to apply, so they do try to something. There may not be as many people apply because the college is very oriented towards human services, in which the focus of the majors is to somehow learn about people, and then apply them. this may only interest very few people who want to eventually go on to their future careers dealing and interacting with people in a specific way. However, because it’s distribution and major requirements are fairly relaxed, different students use the rest of the credits in different ways. Some would use it to take interesting classes around the university in different colleges, while others use it to gain more knowledge, or a breadth of knowledge in their subject area of interest, so it really depends on you and what you like/want. </p>
<p>I think there are a lot more girls because a few of the majors, like Bklyn2Cornell said, are a little bit feminine oriented, like textile and apparel. I wish there were more boys, but what can we do? the major’s probably don’t interest boys as much as girls (let’s ask engineering too how they’ll get girls interested as the gender ratio there are skewed the opposite way).</p>
<p>It is really realistic to do HE and then go to medical school, Human Development, Nutritional Science, HBHS, and maybe even PAM/DEA could be a route to medical school as long as you fulfill the requirement. There’s a thing that HBHS, because they have no actually classes (they take classes in other department) is really the pre-med major since their requirements are medical school requirements. So, if you want to be a “pre-med” major, it’s HBHS.</p>
<p>quynh2007, how realistic is it for an out of state applicant like myself to be admitted into human ecology? I don’t have stellar stats or anything of that sort. And also, is HBHS a really competetive major?</p>
<p>Also, were you admitted last year?</p>
<p>actually, i transferred from Arts to HE my sophmore year (so, my stats would probably not help much). HBHS may be a little bit more competitive only because it is the major that most pre-meds choose to apply as, and might have a little bit higher stats. out-of-staters have a good chance as long as they show they really want HE and not applying because it looks like its the easiest to get into. It might surprise you, but there are a bunch of people who know nothing about HE except that it’s admissions is a little bit higher than the others, and those people make it pretty apparent because their application doesn’t seem to match HE very well or they are too generalized. As long as you’re able to state why you chose HBHS over other similar majors in other colleges, you’ll have a fairly good chance of getting in with decent stats.</p>
<p>So is anyone else here planning to apply to HE and eventually go to med school?</p>
