Back in my day the Ag school at Cornell was a well known easier admit at least for in state. Is that still the case?

Cornell stopped publishing separate data for different colleges. No one really knows for sure. Isn’t Ag school full of premed?

They absolutely publish data broken down by college, among many other metrics. https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

CAS 8%
Ag 12%
ILR 15%
Eng 7%

So if DC wants a premed track, what difference does it make between CAS and CALS?

CALS (Ag) is not some back door in anymore. Maybe 30 years ago.
Especially from out of state it may be harder given there is a preference and mandate to have a certain percentage of New York state students.

Also, with that new deal with the Trump administration, they are pumping the most amount of money into this college right now - focusing on America’s agricultural future. Hiring. Programming. Resources. Expect it to get harder not easier to get into.

What is that percentage?

Similar to UNC. Mostly in-state.

The number 1 program in the US is easier to get into? Emory seems to have low regard for some reason?

No way. Direct entry nursing schools have become as competitive as business and engineering. Not at all “easy admit”

Its not direct admit anyway, one applies sophomore year.

HES grad school alum here. It’s Harvard’s part-time college for working professionals. I would not recommend any first year student to try this way hoping to get into HC later (although students have success in continuing on to other graduate schools like HKS, etc)

Absolutely. Nursing programs have gotten extremely competitive, especially direct admit. The issue with schools that do not have direct admission is that you had better be at the top of your class when it's time to apply in your sophomore year. If not, you won't be in the nursing program at that school and transferring into a nursing program is challenging. Stats might be different for an AA from a community college vs. a BSN from a four year university.

This is a weird and kinda gross question. Your kid should apply to schools/majors that actually interest them!

People around here aren’t swayed by “should.”

Our healthcare system is so broken. It’s sad that nursing is extremely difficult and competitive because the need for nurses in hospitals is so crucial.
