<p>I think that you're aight, academically you're good. You've got some things related to business so you could pull it of. Just out of curiosity, what is your father's business?</p>
<p>Your numbers look fine....keep in mind that AEM is in CALS and so the adcom will also look to see that you fit with the CALS mission/curriculum.</p>
<p>dewdrop:I understand that Cornell is very fit oriented. I can effectively say that I fit the business area. But what do you mean by CALS mission/curriculum?</p>
<p>Simpleperson-my dad does architectural 3D rendering and things alike. I help him with some of the designs and client calls.</p>
<p>go to cals.cornell.edu and specifically look at the graduation requirements</p>
<p>it's all laid out there</p>
<p>oh that I've seen. But I still don't understand what you mean..those are college just what courses I need to take to graduate, how can I "fit" with the curriculum when I'm only in high school?</p>
<p>^^Are you in a position where you can attend a CALS information session? They explain all of this...with more patience than I can.</p>
