<p>I've heard many conflicting bits of information on AEM; that it is on par in terms of admission difficulty with the rest of the school, that it is considerably harder, and that it is nearly impossible. Does anyone have any information about how difficult it is to get in? I've seen the SAT range and acceptance rate (around 1400 and 20% according to one source), but this doesn't really say much, as they only have about 1750 applicants and I don't know who gets rejected, what they look for, if having high enough numbers pretty much guarantees acceptance, etc.</p>
<p>Any information from someone who attends or is well informed would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate is low (around 13% I think) but the average SAT score is approx. the school average. This is because many recruited athletes are sheltered in AEM. It’s probably reasonable to guess that the average SAT score for non-atheletes is higher than Cornell’s average.</p>
<p>overall acceptance rate is 11.9%, which means that RD is even lower. Keep in mind that last year, BW ranked AEM as number 4 in the country, so a lot of students who didnt noe about AEM before learned about AEM. Many kids who are applying to Wharton are also applying to AEM since they are the only accredited business programs in the Ivy League. So expect the acceptance rate to be extremely low this year.</p>
<p>they generally cap admissions for the incoming freshman class at 100, or at least they have in the past. i don’t exactly know if they’re going to do the same this year, but i wouldn’t expect a significant increase/decrease in the amount they accept. maybe 10 or so more?</p>
