We appreciate your interest in Cornell University's College of Human Ecology, and your patience through this transfer admissions decision process.
As the admissions committee is completing it's review of transfer folders, we have a question regarding your application, and I was wondering if you could address it. We were hoping that you could elaborate on your academic interest essay. You selected the Policy Analysis & Management major (PAM), and mentioned a bit about your interests. You mentioned an intererest in 'serving human beings'. PAM can certainly cover those interests - but so can several other majors. So our question to you is simply ' what is it specifically about the College of Human Ecology, and the Policy Analysis & Management major that draws you here rather than another program? '. Making a strong match to your intended major is an important factor in the admissions decision.
We would appreciate it if you would please look through the descriptions of our majors on the web site www.human.cornell.edu , and reply back with a brief essay highlighting how your interests could be best met through Human Ecology. We will then make a decision as quickly as possible. Thank you for addressing this, and we wish you the best this summer.
