<p>Daughter is looking for a school which accepts directly into a business major. With ag and life sciences they say they want a science SAT II. Daughter is a junior and taking physics which she hates and wouldn't want to attempt SAT Physics. She got a 730 in SAT US Hist last year and will take Math II this year. Would that be OK for business? Also, is it possible to transfer between schools? And how important is it to admissions if you visit? Thanks.</p>
<p>i dont think they officially know if you visit, but i could be wrong. i dont think the AG school requires any sat2's, only recommends them- so that means she could theoretically take any two that she wanted. 730 on us hist is a fine score so she could keep that. Math IIC is a good choice but be careful- you can miss like 7 questions and still get an 800 (subject to curve), but missing 8 might give you like a 750. it's wierd but its how it is. </p>
<p>anywho- the ag school's business program is insanely competitive. i think they only take like 100 freshman and they've already filled like 30 something spots w/ the ED class. show extreme interest, all that jazz, etc etc.</p>
<p>You should call the CALS admissions office before taking any advice (including mine!) on this board. That being said, the previous poster is correct, the Applied Economics and Management is an accredited business program that accepted between 19% and 20% the past two years, and this year may even be more competitive. </p>
<p>I do know that CALS has a strong math and science requirement, so they like to see strength in those areas. My gut feeling is that she should take a science SAT II. What about Biology or Chem?</p>
<p>CALS does admissions by major, so that is an example of what you're looking for. She will be competing only against other business major applicants to the accredited undergraduate business program (which ranked 14th nationally after just a few years in existence, I believe).</p>
<p>AEM is within CALS, so all the admissions requirements are the same as for the rest of CALS, and are found here: <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/freshmen_reqs_timetable.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/freshmen_reqs_timetable.pdf</a></p>
<p>It IS possible to transfer between majors and between colleges/schools. As long as you are a good fit for the other school, it's not difficult. (i.e. it's usually easy to transfer to arts, but usually difficult to transfer to AAP unless you are particularly artistic/have a portfolio, etc.</p>

<p>No, she won't. There are six specializations of AEM that fall into three general categories: business, agribusiness, and applied economics.</p>

<p>Last year, it ranked 12th.</p>
<p>I don't believe they compete applicants within each of the 6 specializations. I think one only indicates AEM on the application and applicants compete within the overall AEM major.</p>
<p>Yea, that was my point.</p>
<p>I applied to AEM this year and only took US History and Math II. I'm horrible at science. So we'll see how it goes.......</p>
