<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I heard from EVERYONE that trying to transfer from any Cornell college to AEM is near impossible.</p>
<p>So...are there any things I should/can do that'll help my chances even a tiny bit?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you internal transfer? </p>
<p>Take AEM 1200, and make sure you have both Intro Econs knocked out when you try and transfer, that should help you. Also, Calculus is required for AEM, so keep that in mind. Otherwise, make sure you meet with one of their transfer advisers and keep on top of the schedule for everything. Finally, make an appointment with ITD.</p>
<p>I’m going for internal transfer - I’m in College of HumEc for first year. </p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>Is transferring into AEM really that hard? What about transferring into IRL</p>
<p>Any other tips? I am a CALS bio sciences major that desperately wants to transfer into aem or irl, and pursue a business/marketing related field.</p>
<p>ILR is a good choice too, AEM isn’t as impossible as you make it out to be, I heard the actual internal transfer acceptance rate from an admissions counselor</p>
<p>Also, look into transferring into the Hotel school (also a business program, but it’s narrow focus on hospitality might not be the right fit) or Wharton. That’s what I did this past semester instead of applying to AEM. During the AEM internal transfer information sessions, I felt like they were trying to intimidate the applicants with weaker credentials to the point where they’re discouraged enough to not bother applying. Also, the coordinator/adviser with the JD seemed like a really b****.</p>
<p>I wasn’t able to take the prerequisite Intro to Bus. Mgmt. class, so I didn’t apply to AEM.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>BTW, let me know if you have any questions with the process. Apparently I made Cornell history with the unique sequencing of my transfers: I started as an Architecture major my first semester freshman year. I applied to transfer into Arts and Sciences (for Econ.) with hopes of entering the following semester but ended up in ITD (happens to everyone who transfers out of AAP). By the end of that semester, I applied to transfer into yet another college (Hotel) even though I was still in ITD and technically wasn’t even accepted into A&S yet (Apparently no student has done this before. All of the advisers I talked to had to call around to see if this was even allowed).</p>
<p>Eventually, I did get into the Hotel school, but I’m going to Wharton instead. To transfer hopefuls: Don’t get discouraged by low acceptance rates. Remember, you won’t have any chance AT ALL if you don’t even apply. Good luck!</p>
<p>someone i know applied to transfer to all other ivies who accept transfers and he got rejected everywhere but UPENN…</p>
<p>seems like there’s an easy exchange between the two…</p>
<p>Hmm between Cornell and UPenn?.. sneaking into Wharton would sure be sweet, but for now I’m going to stay with ILR or AEM</p>
<p>i would consider hotel if you’re interested in operations and more business focus</p>
<p>ILR has more of a labor slant</p>
<p>At first, I thought most ILRies went into law, particularly labor law. I later found out from one of my advisers that it is actually somewhat of a business major. An ILR degree seems very versatile; I even know of one (graduated) senior who’s going into marketing.</p>
<p>By the way, I heard of some people jokingly refer to ILR as “I Love Reading.”</p>
<p>Thanks to all the encouraging comments!!</p>
<p>I’m going to try, even if it seems hard. =) I’ll never know if I don’t.</p>
<p>As a freshman should i choose all the classes that are necessary to transfer? I am pretty% sure that i do not want to be a biology major. </p>
<p>bjomountsi09- can you tell me the actual %</p>
<p>thanks for all the input!</p>
<p>It’s definitely a good idea to take the requisite classes freshman year for transferring so that you don’t have to worry about it later, but just remember that you’re taking a risk: it’s possible that you aren’t accepted to your target college, and then you’re stuck with a bunch of elective credits (but I guess you’re at least learning something you’re interested in). I can’t remember the exact requirements for AEM, but I think it’s around 3 classes, Intro. to Business Management being one of them.</p>
<p>Thank you! =)</p>
<p>Would it be easier to transfer to AEM from CAS? I’m getting all the perequistes done freshmen year but still wondering what’s the actual acceptance rate for transferring into AEM?</p>
<p>From what I remember:
External: 12%
Internal: 20%</p>
<p>Haha, okay. Chances are slim but I’ll take 'em. =)</p>
