My DD2 and I just came back from visiting Cornell and my DD1, who is a junior. there. DD2 plans to major in fashion merchandise management through Human Ecology. She liked the school and the program but worries about the stress her sister is constantly complaining about. Her sister has always been someone who stresses but she also had much better grades in high school than this DD. DD2 has better test scores. I keep telling her not to listen to everything her sister says because they have different majors and interests and personalities. DD2 was told at the Human Ecology meeting that Cornell takes up to 46 percent of their incoming class through ED. She was also told that fashion majors are treated like recruited athletes when it comes to admissions. I guess because they are required to submit a portfolio which shows their talent in addition to everything else. Are there any fashion majors out there who could offer some advice??? Thank you.
