<p>So my friend wants to transfer to Cornell. She is a premedical student majoring in economics at her current school. She asked me what's the best major she can apply for at Cornell in order to have the most success in transferring. What is the best major/school she can apply for in order to have the highest chance of getting in (as an economics premed)?
PAM? AEM? ILR?
Any ideas?
In addition, any thoughts on what can she say in her essay in order to have the highest chance of getting in?
Thanks</p>
<p>no offense, but since she’s an econ major, wouldn’t she be applying for econ in cas? or does she want to change her major from econ to something else? PAM is public policy, AEM is business, ILR is…ILR. I would tell her to find out more about each program, and pick what she’s interested in, not what’s easiest to get into…look at the course requirements and all that stuff online. ILR has the highest transfer acceptance rate (mostly cause of gt’s I guess) but if she doesn’t want to study labor relations, then why bother? I’ve heard AEM is really selective btw.</p>
<p>I kind of like PAM/HumEc for this.</p>
<p>The thing is, she is a NY resident and I think CAS is one of the hardest school to transfer into.<br>
I understand that AEM is really selective, but wouldn’t she have a good chance because of her uniqueness… being a premed economics major?

<p>She needs to have a very good reason for transferring…what does Cornell offer that her current institution does not?</p>
<p>Any examples?</p>

<p>My guess is PAM or Bio & Society. Several Hum Ec faculty, research, and programmatic initiatives are geared toward health care policy, which would allow her to integrate her studies in economics, human biology, and health care. This seems like a good academic fit, and several students in Bio & Society go on to medical school.</p>
