<p>I found out about this after I applied and got accepted into CAS/economics. Does anybody know how I can transfer into that, and after how long? Thanks</p>
<p>stay in CAS Econ, u will get the same opportunities, and it affords u more flexibility,</p>
<p>however at cornell now, u can take any course in any college without restriction....so do as u please</p>
<p>At least until you run out of out of college credits :).</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answers to mcdcoops questions? I'm in the same situation.</p>
<p>I am a senior in AEM..I was originally in arts and sciences but found out about AEM after. AEM is very competitive so you have to do quite well in arts to be accepted but you need to take micro/macro econ, calculus, and two AEM courses to be accepted - best move I have ever made! Good luck guys</p>
<p>I've already taken AP Economics in high school as well as AP Calculus BC. Would that count as part of the transfer if I score well on the AP tests?</p>
<p>what's AEM?</p>
<p>AEM = Applied Economics and Management, Cornell's accredited undergraduate business program in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS)</p>
<p>bah..i am in a similar situation too. accepted to CAS econs and thinking of transfering to CALS aem. i want to go into the finance industry in the future and the econs webby mentions that econs graduates are more 'valued' by employers because of the broad-based education. i think this viewpoint may be slightly biased though because it was stated by the econs dept...so i am wondering whether this will turn out to be true. are career opportunities in the finance world really better for econs graduates as compared to business sch students??</p>
<p>I don't really think you can go wrong graduating from either...</p>
<p>recruiting is better from AEM for finance. but you can't go wrong for either. The reason that iit is better is that the top investment banks will come ot Cornell and recruit for all of Cornell and AEM specifically so you are competing against less kids for top spots.</p>
<p>It's really easy to transfer within Cornell. As long as you get Bs in all your classes you are pretty much set. You really don't have to be an AEM major to get a top offer. I know plenty of A&S people (probably more than AEM majors) got recruited by companies like Lehman Bros. and Goldman Sachs.</p>
