[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the Ag School is a NY state school, which means it is easier to get in as a NY resident but not from out-of-state.  None of the Ivies is at all easy to get into, and I think this question is ridiculous on lots of levels.[/quote]

If you get into the ag school, are you stuck studying agriculture related subjects? lol. Or can you switch to another school and major in something else? Just curious.[/quote]

Who would be stupid enough to lie about a major just to get into a school?  [/quote]

Actually, the Ag school has some majors that aren't ag related. My cousin was in the Ag school as an business marketing major. She landed a job at a top ad agency in NYC after graduation.[/quote]

Not sure if it’s still the case, but 20 years ago you could do a biology degree in the Ag school. Same subject specific classes as the biology degree in the college of arts and sciences. Few differences: at the time tuition was about $7-8k less which made a huge difference for my loan balance 2. There is a restriction on the number of classes you can take from outside the state colleges without needing to pay the tuition difference. 3. I don’t think I was required to take a language, but did anyway. I believe there is also an engineering program in the ag school. [/quote]

Cornell alum here ('90) who went into Ag as a biology major (although I ended up in Arts as an East Asian Studies major) and I was looking up Ag vs. Arts the other day to see whether it's reasonable for us as a doughnut-hole family to think about our kids applying ED for the legacy boost. I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that Ag (they call it CALS now apparently) and other land grant colleges charge exactly the same tuition for out-of-state as the endowed colleges do. Yikes.

It's too bad, because Ag has a ton of cool, mostly STEM programs:

And anyone who thinks that Cornell is for slackers and Ivy-level wannabes...you have no idea how hard Cornell is. Don't knock hotel management either -- it's basically a business degree. I know hotelies who are now running hedge funds and pulling in the big bucks, but they were working their butts off in college.[/quote]
