<p>I am aware of the fact that AEM is one of the hardest programs in Cornell
I firmly believe that business is what I want to do… My ECs and essays show my passion for business… please chance me!!</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance..I got in with similar stats</p>

<p>Just don't put you were the Co-Founder, but just the Founder...that makes you look passive...</p>

3

<p>haha kidding but seriously good chances</p>

4

<p>Looks pretty good. If you show that you really want cornell in your application, and your essays/recs are good, I'd say you have a pretty good chance.</p>

5

<p>i hope i really get into cornell... i mean im applying to other schools and i guess i wanna get into other schools too...</p>

<p>im really hoping that i get into either a prestigious undergrad b-program or an ivy league school...</p>

<p>thanks everyone (Happy New Year!)</p>

<p>more comments are welcomed!!</p>

<p>you have a decent chance. everyone who gets into aem has similar or better stats and activities though. plenty of them are "entrepreneurs" and have ******** registered businesses just to put on their resumes. just hope you stand out somehow, the patent will help.</p>

<p>very depressing to hear that jasonsk
i guess most of the applicants have better stats than i do... it seems that my sats (out of 1600) are on the high end though... not sure though..err</p>

<p>wats the mid range on the SAT
are my ECs too weak for AEM?</p>

8

<p>Umm...I dont' think most AEM majors have better stats. I think you fit in pretty well (in terms of scores and EC's with other AEM majors).</p>

<p>As far as AEM majors being "entrepreneurs" and having businesses, that's completely untrue. I don't know of a single AEM major (besides myself, and that started last year) that has started their own business (more than a lemonade stand) or done anything super special. It certainly helps to demonstrate an interest in business though.</p>
