[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the natural B+ students who are tutored to an A-, or legacies. [/quote]
My DC is straight A, highest rigor, 1580+, not yet decided on major, but will be STEM related, possibly an engineering discipline. Some of the negative comments about Cornell make the decision to attend Cornell full pay even harder. We need more positive comments to make the decision…[/quote]
i've held off on posting since i feel like i've painted a very rosy picture of DD's freshman year so far and didn't want to go overboard. but here's my positive 2 cents - she's having a blast in CAS and mix of humanities/STEM classes. has classmates in engineering who are working hard but some are actually doing quite well. it's a grind but she feels like she grinded harder in high school and is really enjoying her time. happy to answer further questions.

Two of our kids just graduated from Cornell CAS in the last couple years and both were very pleased with their decision to go to Cornell.  One was a STEM major and is now applying to medical schools.  Other is going to grad school for IR.  Both kids enjoyed their time there in vastly different ways which is a benefit of a larger school with a diverse student body. One was heavily involved in theatre and a writing club. The other was heavily involved in club sports, Greek life, tour guides.  They both took advantage of having local golf course, ski slope, lake sailing and wineries.  Weather did not faze them (grew up here in the DMV) but understand how that can be a personal preference.   [/quote]
Did your med school kid find it difficult to maintain GPA?  [/quote]

Finished in 3.5 years with a 4.04 so managed it well. Also had leadership roles in a few ECs as noted above so was not studying all the time.   [/quote]
