<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Recently I met some people from Ivy schools and I saw their profiles and I was amazed. It really makes me feel that the chance that I thought I had is gone. I was wondering if anyone currently attending Wharton could go over my profile and tell me whether or not I have a shot, or if I should apply ED. </p>
<p>If you are kind enough to do so, I will send you my CV. I am grateful.</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are probably not many people currently attending Wharton who follow the CC Cornell subforum and are intimately familiar with admissions at Cornell AEM. </p>
<p>I would guess that, were you to ask them, even most Cornell students would not have a good handle on this, since the AEM stats do not seem to be published anyplace.</p>
<p>Oh sorry about that. I posted that post on the Wharton and AEM forums only because those are the two schools I am considering for ED. I guess I forgot to change that Wharton to AEM. :D</p>
<p>Do you reckon you could glance over my CV and give me your two cents?</p>
<p>2nd paragraph of #2 applies, I for one have no insights into AEM admissions.</p>

It’s even more difficult to “chance” for AEM because, as monydad said, there’s no AEM-specific data out there…all we know is that it’s one of the more selective programs at Cornell. Your best bet is to come up with a list of pros and cons for both Wharton and AEM. Both schools care about fit, so if you can come up with a list of reasons you’re attracted to the program and the University as a whole, you’ll be in good shape when it comes time to write your “Why CALS/Cornell/AEM?” essay (or, for that matter, whatever “Why?” essays Penn may require). Apply to the school that interests you the most (go through course offerings, the viewbooks, and even things like the Career Services handouts–there’s probably a lot of overlap between where AEM and Wharton alumni get jobs, but it’s interesting information for comparison nonetheless), not the one you think you’ll have an easier time getting into because, while Wharton’s probably slightly more selective on the margins (BusinessWeek lists AEM’s average SAT score as 50 points lower than Wharton’s, but I don’t know how much stock to put into those numbers), the difference-maker could be the knowledge and interest you have in the program you end up applying to in addition to how your interests and past experiences fit the school’s profile.</p>
