Ask me anything about Dyson + IB

<p>Yes! I definitely am. With the amount of high level math courses that I’ve completed so far, I feel like it’s definitely a feasible goal and am currently looking into the major requirements. I’m going to have to work on credits in the life sciences since I haven’t had a ton of experience with them thus far, at least not at the collegiate level, but I figure that there is adequate time due to the fact that I’m only a freshman.</p>

<p>This is concerning transferring as a sophomore into the AEM program:</p>

<p>I’m sorry guys for posting this here, but it doesn’t seem as anyone else can help me answer this question. In my state university, Biology 1 and Biology 2 are weed-out courses designated for pre-med students and the like. While it is possible to take these courses for a non-science major, it is highly inadvisable. I emailed the admissions board, and they specified that students should take a cellular and an evolutionary biology course to fulfill the Biology requirement. I was wondering if it would be permissible to take a Biology 1 (for non-science majors; it is registered as a general education class rather than a tracking course for science majors) and a course such as “Microbiology and Cell Science” to fulfill the requirement (as there is no Biology 2 course that is designated for non-science majors) ? However, would taking Biology 1 and Biology 2 (designated for the science majors) be looked upon as the better alternative (in comparison to Biology 1 for non-science majors and “microbiology and cell science”)? </p>

<p>The above text is also loosely taken from the followup email I sent to Cornell, but unfortunately they didn’t answer the question being asked. Thanks for the help in advance.</p>

<p>Do you have any recommendations for any courses I should take as an Economic Major looking to transfer to Applied Economics the next year?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Why are the acceptance rates for Dyson so low? This year was only 8% for ED + RD. </p></li>
<li><p>Also, how much does applying ED help for getting into the school? Are the acceptance rates significantly higher for ED students? </p></li>
<li><p>Compared to places like Stern and Penn, how does Dyson compare in Finance and IB job placement and opportunities and connections?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it harder to get into Dyson AEM from HS or transfer in internally?</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>because we only take like a 100 kids a year</li>
<li>it’s higher, but i’m not sure about if there’s a bias in that statistic because i think a lot of recruited athletes with a hook apply early so they could be raising that acceptance percentage.</li>
<li>recruiting is fine. you’ll need to hustle and network to be considered at some banks that don’t recruit oncampus/only have resume drops (evercore, greenhill, moelis, credit suisse, etc.) but cornell name carries a lot of weight and alums are big on helping qualified candidates.</li>
<li>it’s hard eitehr way. the only kids i’ve heard of transferring into AEM had a 3.7/8+</li>
</ol>

<p>Just how tough is the admissions for AEM? like what kind of stats/ecs would you need?</p>

<p>any help is much appreciated</p>

<p>aem seems to be big on fit. once you have a ‘competitive profile’ (2100+ sats, 3.7+ gpa, leadership, basically the bs that’s regurgitated here everyday) it comes down to fit. your essays should show you’re not another robot and why you’re right for aem.</p>

<p>@CornellJunior I know this is extremely late, and I’m not even sure if you check on here anymore haha but I’m applying to ED this year for AEM. However, I’m worried that that I will not get accepted b/c I do not have any business ECs. My grades fit and I have a legacy. I’m working really hard on my supplement to show that I am a right fit. Do you think I should apply? Or should I apply to ILR?</p>
