tame sandal
Does CoE at Cornell also offer the opportunity to do CS and data Science?
there is no data science
in coe
if anything, its under ISST (info sci) major in a concentration
u can minor in DS tho
u can minor anything, major has to be same college
but idk if u meant like
smth more like the CAS Statistical Science major or CALS Biometry and Statistics
which are more stats than info sci DS
timid cave
Does CoE at Cornell also offer the opportunity to do CS and data Science?
one of my friends who wants to concentrate in both at cornell rn does isst in engineering

I’m looking to become a data miner, so obviously computer science, but maybe a minor in statistics or data science. From what I’m seeing though that’s possible through CoE

u can minor in anything

i'm cs in a&s! tbh i never really thought about how my hs coursework matched a&s or engineering, i just knew i wanted to take more humanities courses in college but i did have 4 years of a language and similar difficultly in stem and humanities classes. i had physics/astro ecs in hs so i was able to talk about those in my why a&s essay much better than i would've been able to in engineering

ahhhhh do you happen to know of anyone who entered with just 2 language credits?? would it be possible to test out of a 3rd language credit entering as a freshman??
i really do think there's more i can talk about with my ecs for a&s than engineering, but i didn't have space in my schedule for a 3rd language course TT
severe timber
i have no idea tbh we don't really talk about how many foreign languages credits we had in hs😭 but i feel like that might? be a valid concern since the language requirement (after u get in) is a pretty big deal in a&s (everyone has to take like 3 semesters i think)
what does the website say about this?
digital nymph
it has a list of "recommendations/requirements" for hs academics and 3 credits/yrs of credit for one language is stressed

cheat code, take an asian language class (i think manadrin, korean, japanese) of which the intro are 6 credits, and you only have to do two semesters 🙏
it's not really that good of a cheat code since the classes do run 7 times per week, but they aren't that heavy and are a nice way to get through them quickly

what is AIS
tamu has a document uploading portal called the applicant information system (AIS) where students needed to submit stuff by 10/15 for engineering ea. the issue was that they took a couple days to email login info to students after sending in their common app, then a couple more days to process students' uploads. so even if you submitted common app a bit early, it was alr too late for ea
basically i was just asking if cornell had something similar requiring me to submit well before 11/1

Which stuff r u looking into rn
i'm an english major and trying to find things that make cornell english special, specifically im theming my essay a lot around academic curiosity and diversity of thought and perspective
so far im talking about how the separation of colleges promotes different perspectives on issues by offering different curriculum even if its still the same major or focus
unrelated essay question but do they have a name for ag school kids like they do for hotelies
unique musk
doesnt like every uni separate colleges
empty coral
yes but cornell specifically has a lot of crossover between majors in the colleges and treats them autonomously
like you could be a cs major in engineering or a&s
and they do admissions separately
unique musk
cs specifically a lot of schools also have eng and a&s
but im just playing devils advocate yk
empty coral
ya i get what you mean
i was gonna specifically mention the ilr school and how it's one example of promoting unique perspectives on issues

hotel is unique i think ive never seen it anywhere else
but how does that relate to english
