<p>So I've been researching a little about AEM. I know its an undergraduate business school but I also heard they only accept like 100 people or something!!! If it is so small how is the quality and comprehensiveness of it? Compared to Wharton or other top undergrad bschools?</p>
<p>Also on the website it said the requirements that CALS needs 2 SAT subject tests including a science one! I do have a 4 in Bio though. If im applying for AEM...it has nothing or little to do with science so would that affect my admission chances? Thanks!</p>
<p>AEM is in CALS so therefore b/c you graduate with a bachelors of science you have SCIENCE requirements and must be competent in SCIENCE (real science as in not sciences for non majors) i believe you have to take physics and biology but i'm not sure (once you're at cornell)</p>
<p>Although aem has 100 people per class there are about 200 people either minoring in aem or visiting from another university / studying abroad etc. It is Cornell's undergraduate business degree and is comprehensive, there are many specializations to choose from and courses to take.<br>
The science aspect makes it unique from many other top business school's and the CALS has been trying hard to make the science courses interesting. They just came out with four new bio courses instead of taking 109 and 110 to fulfill the requirements. The experience is great and the guest lecturers have been amazing. Career services has been very helpful and I find all my professors approachable. That being said I have no idea how it would compare to Wharton or "other top business schools" but I suggest visiting and seeing which campus sees to fit for you.</p>
<p>I want to go to aem as well but as you said, they only accept 100 students. Do you think its better if i apply to cas? I have a 92% gpa (in percent = A- i guess) SAT 1960 and i have a lot of good extra curricular (Cashier, and now manager of a restaurant on weekends, cancer foundation, abroad make a wish foundation, tennis captain, tutoring, and science fair 4th place. I have great essays and great recs. But I dont know what to do. I want to major in business though</p>
<p>AEM really does try to accept students they feel will be a good fit. If you can state your case for why you should be in aem you stand a chance of getting in. It is not all about grades and sat's (they do factor in) but it is also important that you have a desire to be there. I really don't know about what SAT II's are required, you can ask an admission's officer. If I remember correctly I took only the bio sat II and it wasn't a big deal.</p>
<p>i'm always confused whenever people ask "what is a good fit" - the thing is, "fit" is unique for everyone and you shouldn't need to ask other people who don't even know you via online forum what a "good fit" is. maybe you need to think about it some more. how will AEM help you in your life's goals/passions? why do you want to be an AEM major?</p>
<p>you need to show interest in business - or at least the field in business that you're interested in. you DON'T, however, need to be part of DECA or FBLA or anything like that. (i wasn't and i still got into AEM - amongst other business schools)</p>
<p>A good way to see if AEM is a good fit is look at the website, especially the courses offered and curriculum. If you are interested in the courses listed and like the unique aspects of being in a business major but graduate with bachelor of science degree that involves economics AEM is for you. however, there are many ways to approach it because you can take ILR or hotel classes even though you are in aem. both of these schools as well as aem have courses offered no where else and are really interested</p>
