Swim test is meant to be a check on basic survival skills

its no big deal if u fail, there are 4+ lifeguards on deck and when u initially jump in theres a huge pole u can grab

Im js wondering

i lifeguarded the class this sem, ask me anything
Has anyone like actually failed even after taking the class

tame sandal
well
u would then retake the class
and have a U (fail) on ur transcript for the class
actually
i think its still a pass if u make the attendance requirement
noble cedar
i think its still a pass if u make the attendance requirement
Whats that
tame sandal
the attendance requirement?
PEs arent rlly graded
theyre pass fail
u fail if u dont attend the amt they say u need
the one i lifeguarded had like 4 allowed absences
noble cedar
u fail if u dont attend the amt they say u need
Ah
unique musk
geocaching sounds rly fun
tame sandal
And cant receive grad credit
u have 4 years to do it

if u dont take the requirement in ur first year, u pay like $100 per year
in a fine

Don’t make it the focus
tame sandal
u have 650 words to discuss why major, why cornell for that major, why cornell cas specifically, and why you
you should be focusing on why youre majoring in CS
bronze egret
Cs should be the bulk
tame sandal
u can tack psych on at the end when discussing why cornell cas
lilac heart
talking about cs is laaaame
bronze egret
talking about cs is laaaame
lilac heart
i dont have anything else

Oh r u not actually gonna do cs at cornell

is that comp psych
Yup
lilac heart
its a broad subject and pretty versatile
tame sandal
cuz i dont have anything else
like all ur ECs are cs or

nice to havea degree in
bronze egret
Cs isn’t rly a major u just do to get in

Its one of the most comp ones

do u just take the core of ur concentration
and then some classes
tame sandal
you want me to answer the engineering questions in the cas essay?
what?
who said that ??
where r u getting this
lilac heart
wait i should rephrase that
I should basically answer the engineering prompts in my cas essay
tame sandal
no
tame sandal
u should ansewr the CAS prompt
which is asking why major, why cornell, why cas
the CAS prompt IS a why major
bruh
😭
word for word says to discuss fields of study
lilac heart
well wait
so
cs doesnt really differ between cas and engineering
nvm
ill try to yap about cs
thing is
lilac heart
its hard to yap about cs when i really dont know much about cs?
cuz cs isnt just programming
cs is a science
"problem solving" so lame
tame sandal
its hard to yap about cs when i really dont know much about cs?
i thought u said 4 of ur ecs were cs
lilac heart
programming more like
it feels wrong to not primarily talk about cs being math and science
tame sandal
it feels wrong to not primarily talk about cs being math and science
why cant u talk about that
who said u cant
lilac heart
cuz i dont have much experience on it
tame sandal
u just said u like math phys chem
lilac heart
nobody studies cs on their own
lilac heart
😭
unique musk
lilac heart
what would i say
"idk about cs so im going to cornell to study cs"
only thing i can think of
unique musk
why are you studying cs?
lilac heart
studying algorithms on my own
tame sandal
u can introduce cs as like its generic definition
then say how you explored its surface level information in ur ecs
then talk abt how you realized cs is more thaan that and is deeply involved with the sciences
bronze egret
what would i say
"idk about cs so im going to cornell to study cs"
U do know cs
lilac heart
i dont!
tame sandal
u can introduce cs as like its generic definition
then say how you explored its ...
then talk abt how u study algorithms
then talk abt opportunities at cornell CAS CS
and how those relate to stuff you love and stuff youve done
and then mention the interdisciplinary nature of CAS gen eds and transition to saying how diff distributions like ETM-AS and SSC-AS will facilitate exploration of psych and how PHS-AS will help you deepen your scientific understanding with physics and/or chem and how all of that will supplement your CS knowledge
literally
u just cooked in this conversation is this not a 650 word essay
😭
tame sandal
highkey cooking
lilac heart
quick question
so
i kind of also relate cs to cooking
cuz ngl they share alot of the same things
woud they like that
or be more generic
lilac heart
i kind of made it a direct relation
lilac heart
spoke about my love for cooking, the things i like about it ----> took a cs intro class ----> realized theyre kinda similar
-----> natural love for cs
tame sandal
yeah but how u gonna relate it to cornell cas cs
lilac heart
well then ill start talking about cs
yap about it for like 250 or so words
then 100 or 150 or so cas
lilac heart
then 100 interdisciplinary
tame sandal
like dont just go like
from cooking and baking language and creative flow into cs and then blatantly end the cooking stuff
lilac heart
..
tame sandal
i feel like in a 650 word essay, the cooking is smth u should try to tie in throughout
lilac heart
noted
tame sandal
not if u do it well
lilac heart
they feel so forced
and so
i only read collegevine and collegeessay guy to get my motors working
tame sandal
theyre bad
my go to strategy is a metaphor
and then i tie diff aspects of said metaphor to the school
like say i associate the college with a beehive
then i mention like diff aspects like the nectar, the worker bees, whatever
and explain how thats representative of the school
cooking has SO MANY vocabulary words and nuances with recipes etc that would make a metaphor so fucking clean
lilac heart
ill see how much i can expand on cooking
vocal topaz

Asians and Jews
tame sandal
so you can talk abt actual things

oh so im assuming ur not media studies
honestly its just hard to write it for me personally cause I talk about how I chose Comms as my major because it strengthens my practical skills and it has been prevalent in every single EC i did

if u really wanted to
i think a possible connection could be like
(idk if u mentioend a timeline so this may or may not fit) but like
u realized u love comms and u alrdy loved editing and filming but throguh editing and filming u could hone communication thru audiovisual communication as editing and filming involve a lot of honing how information is presented
like as a show of how comms not only influenced ec u did but how u pushed back into ur ecs to develop ur love/interest for comms
cosmic relic
I have an umbrella for my supp already so idk how i would fit it
i talk about how im an epistemic learner, which makes me inherently interested in the fundamentals of things
lilac heart
im kinda getting a cool vibe from my essay ngl
cosmic relic
and comms is a core thing in all my ecs
so thats like my relation
I also have 50 words so 💀💀
Might just try and slip it in somewhere
cosmic relic
I already talk about social media briefly
cosmic relic
I already worded it so that information is extremely condensed in a few words so im like SUPER against changing anything rn lol
vocal topaz
the cornell three words prompt is making me overthink so hard lol
cosmic relic
the describe yourself?
vocal topaz
no describing cornell engineering
cosmic relic
oh, i have no idea about engineering
tame sandal
i put synchronized swimming team
there was a point at which in writing my 50+ essays
i rage quit and was like lets just do whatever
cuz it is not this deep
💀
vocal topaz
i put synchronized swimming team
for engineering!?! 😭
tame sandal
i think it was after i wrote an essay abt being a swiss army knife
tame sandal
for engineering!?! 😭
yeah
my why engineering was describing how participating in synchro made me realize my love for engineering
or some shit
but i think it was more cohesive bc we only had 2 essays
idk how well relating ur 6 words to one of ur essays would go if u have like 8 essays to write
vocal topaz
ohh gotcha, you tied it into your why us essay
i hate writing the why us/why major essays like
genuinely have a loathing for them

random af but CALS admissions were super super sweet and nice when i emailed them 😹

one thing i thought of was how i enjoy looking at statistics when watching sports
but that feels SO out of place in an engineering writing supplement 🫣
short mountain
not really?
i mean i dont like watching sports
but you can frame it around like
you being analytical / finding patterns and numerical beauty in everyday lfie
im applying health sciences / public health for most universities and my joy essays have been centered around gardening
idk which essay u are referring to, but unless the prompt itself is explicitly academic, you can write about whatever demonstrates your character and supports your candidacy for admission

no its just "what brings you joy?" 100 words
young aspen
alright i'll see what i can do thanks a lot

i mean uve already probably justified your interest in engineering in your academics essay
i dont think you need to justify it harder
short mountain
can anyone give a vibecheck on CHE vs CALS
^^ bumping this. academically they're pretty similar for me personally (in terms of the curriculum they provide). mainly things like culture in each college, stress and pressure, infrastructural support in terms of academic advising and access to faculty

gen eds 😦
why are all humec students taking obesity class
😭
also every humec student and their mother is an hbhs major
(probably just in my classes/circles tho cuz im premed lol)
ive met no pub/glob health, 1 nut sci, 0 human dev, 0 fiber sci, 0 dea, 1 fashion
and like
200 hbhs (exaggerating)
there is little to no diff in culture, stress, opportunities between each college
main difference is advising and gen eds
i believe humec majors tend to be smaller
