Aem

<p>I'm in the college of arts and sciences right now (incoming freshmen). how difficult is it to get into AEM which is part of agriculture and life sciences? and what would i have to do?</p>

<p>anybody??
please??</p>

<p>Not very hard. Just file for a transfer with the Internal Transfer Division.</p>

<p>Cornell</a> Internal Transfer Division</p>

<p>But I would stay in Arts for at least a year before you commit to transferring. Plenty of incredibly successful business people have graduated from Arts.</p>

<p>AEM might be harder to transfer into than other majors, since it's pretty popular.</p>

<p>Can someone explain to me the process of transferring? It's relative difficulty, and what is required for me?</p>

<p>Also, what it the difference between ITD and direct transfer?</p>

<p>I will be a freshmen at the ILR next year, and I may want to transfer to CAS. Is this possible? If so, what would I have to do? And when is the earliest I can transfer? (After first semester right?) Can someone explain to me what the time period of transfer is? What about for direct transfer?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>^ dude, u asked these same questions like 20 times already. ppl told u that it ain't that hard to transfer at all. if u wish to look at further details, look it up on the website or call up the school.</p>

<p>Um patless no one ever explained it clearly to me, as in the difference and the time required. Also, I tried looking it up online, but that general link to the ITD website is too vague and not specific.</p>

<p>Is there another link?</p>

<p>Plus, I am not allowed to use the telephone because I am scared of telemarketers.</p>

<p>It's not hard at all, and absent a horrendous academic record, all internal transfers go through successfully within a semester. The reason why the website is somewhat vague is because every student is different. </p>

<p>I knew a bunch of individuals who transferred out of ILR, as well as a bunch of individuals who transferred into ILR. Very straightforward, especially in ILR as a lot of general elective courses are taken the first year.</p>

<p>That all being said, please settle down. You are starting to give me high blood pressure.</p>

<p>Okay sorry. I am stressed as well, especialy about what college to go to and what to study. I like business, and I am also a sort of prestige-whore in essence, but hey every person is different. I understand that I may seem annoying but in reality, I get along pretty well with everyone.</p>

<p>So basically my choices now are:</p>

<p>Cornell University (ILR or CAS Econ or possibly AEM) vs. NYU Stern</p>

<p>Dilemmas galore.</p>

<p>That shouldn't even be a question. Cornell is superlative in every respect. Especially if you are a prestige whore. Not that I'm an advocate for that type of decision making.</p>

<p>Everybody I know who want to NYU hated it. And half of those that I know transferred to Cornell. </p>

<p>I'll also note that you may want to have an open mind about your prestige whoring tendencies. Some of the biggest prestige whores going into college end up becoming organic farmers. And some of the labor organizers and socialists end up becoming the most successful businessmen. Life happens.</p>

<p>any program that you choose within cornell, whether its cas econ, ilr, aem, or even anthropology, can get you a job at an Ibank</p>

<p>Splintercell: You should make an appointment with your advisor as early as possible in August. You can try to do a direct transfer, but you must have fulfilled the requirements of the college/program you want to enter. So, if you are in ILR and you want to transfer to CALS/AEM for example, you should start to take some of the required courses in that major and develop a relationship with a professor or two who can write a recommendation for you. Your ILR advisor might set you up with an appointment with the CALS/AEM advising department to help set your goals. AEM is a very popular major to transfer into - I think they require at least a year at Cornell before you transfer. You also must maintain a minimum GPA for a direct transfer. Transferring to CAS would be the same process. </p>

<p>To transfer using ITD – you essentially enroll in ITD (for clarity, you will not be enrolled in any of the 7 undergraduate colleges – you would be enrolled in ITD – treat it like an “8th college”). Students using this method commonly either have to raise their GPA, or satisfy pre-requisite courses. It’s more complicated because the process is treated individually for each student, but I’ve simplified it for purposes of clarity. </p>

<p>And yes, your quest for "prestige" is very annoying! :rolleyes:</p>
