<p>What are my chances of getting into AEM?</p>

<p>Here are my stats: (Accounting Major and planning to have a double major/minor in Computer Science or Finance)
1) GPA is 3.98 (All A except 1 B+)</p>

<p>2) 5 awards from County Executive, County Sheriff and Board of Chosen Freeholders (Leadership Award and commendation of Certificates).</p>

<p>3) Executive Board of Student Government Council (Secretary)

<p>4) enlisted in an army for 26 months(Not the U.S. Army).
Six months of experience as a 4th Squad Leader.</p>

<p>5) Very strong recommendation letters from my accounting professor and
3 more letters from the President of my school, Dean, and Advisor of Phi Theta Kappa.</p>

<p>6) Earned 65 college-credits / High School GPA is really bad 3.1/4.0? But I earned more than 60 college-credits so I don't think that admission officers will look at my high school GPA that much.</p>

<p>7) Very unique diverse cultural backgrounds.

lived in Indonesia for 10 years. 3rd~12th grade.

<p>I actually believe on Cornell’s website that they accept students with a maximum of 60 college credits. You should check that out.</p>

<p>Most of 4 year schools accept maximum 60 credits. I think you miss understood their statements.
Of course they accept students who have more than 60 credits. But even if you have more than 60 credits, you can only bring maximum 60 credits.
It does not mean that transfer applicants who have more than 60 credits can’t be accepted. Because even if I have 65 credits, Cornell won’t accept all that credits.
They might accept only 55 or 58 and that is their call.
In order to transfer into junior year, you must have 60 credits.
And in my opinion, it is the best way to have about 65~70 credits in order to transfer to junior year.</p>
