<p>I am thinking about study both majors so I will apply for one of them this year (I am high school class of '09)
On one side, I have load of work related to AEM
On the others, I have had pets since I was born and I love them very much
gonna take the SAT Subs on Math, Physics and Chem this Oct.
So I wonder, which major is less competitive and do I need SAT Bio to apply for animal sciences
Does anyone know the acceptance rate of animal science?</p>
<p>AEM is the more competitive major. However, they are both majors in CALS - and CALS is VERY conscious of "fitting the major" with its applicants. If you have no extracurriculars related to biology or animals and you're not a stellar applicant in at least one other area (as in 1500/1600 SAT or better, national awards, URM, etc.), then it might not be wise for you to apply to Animal Sciences (or any major that you seemingly have no connection to) - in CALS, at least. You might have better luck with CAS (College of Arts and Sciences); their admissions aren't as tailored to specific majors.</p>
<p>You're not going to find an "acceptance rate" for Animal Science. The only major I've heard of an acceptance rate published for at Cornell (besides the Hotel School) is AEM. </p>
<p>In short: If you're a strong applicant (around 2200 SAT or higher, Top 10% of your class), at CALS you'll be better off applying AEM than to a major you have no ECs for.</p>
<p>please remember that all CALS students can have an official minor in AEM...</p>
<p>animal science is very ag-business oriented...do remember that food makes the world go round :D</p>
<p>You should know that the people who are typically in Animal Science have either worked for many years in agriculture / farming or have significant veterinary / biology extracurricular experience. </p>
<p>I would be very surprised if you get accepted into Animal Science simply because you love your pets.</p>
