<p>How important are science ec's, grades in science classes, ACT science scores, SAT 2's in science, etc if u r applying to AEM. I love everything about the program except that its in CALS and has a fairly sizable science requirement. Basically is it a big deal if science isnt my greatest subject? Can the fact that math and english are my best subjects and that i have a lot of business ec's and classes make up for it since AEM is a business program, not a science major. I wish AEM wasnt in CALS lol...</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Btw, please dont try to persuade me not to apply cause ive read a lot about it and im prepared to fulfill the requirements. who knows maybe ill even find that i really like science (i havent had the greatest science teachers).</p>

<p>how are your economics grades? most only take 1 econ class in high school...i'd recommend taking 2 econ courses...and accounting or business...</p>

<p>At my school we dont take economics till senior year (ill be taking AP Micro). I would take Macro but already have too many AP's. I've taken 5 business classes (3 easy elective type classes and 2 that follow curriculum of local university=12 college credits) already tho and have A+'s in all of them. </p>

<p>Im really just worried about the science thing. Is it that important?</p>

<p>most people come to cornell with the same science...bio, chem, physics...should be fine if you did as well as everyone else...</p>

<p>AEM, as you probably know, is Cornell's accredited undergraduate business program. So, no, just because it is in CALS, I'm sure the admissions committee will not frown at you for lacking EC's/achievements in science. Besides, CALS evaluates and accepts applicants to specific majors, so you will not necessarily be competing with the other bio, or plant science applicants.</p>
