<p>I hope this is sufficient. My GPA actually calculates to 3.879, apologies for the error. Thank you!</p>
<p>well your courses are not going to help you much…you wont have another bio class complete nor will you have one of the chem or physics complete…and not even the economics portion completed,
it doesn’t matter how bad ass you EC’s are, but even if you do get in you wont be able to take any upper level courses at cornell, your whole junior year you will be wasting your time completing prerequisites for those upper level courses at AEM…
i recommend you look into some local universities in your state,
OR CHANGE YOUR COURSE LINE up for your 3erd and 4th semesters, take courses that match with AEM’s required and recommended</p>
<p>This fall semester I will be taking: Bio 102, Bus Stat, Econ 202 (micro), English 200, and an honors class. That bio 102 class completes the full year of a biology that CALS/AEM requires, as well as the ECON 202 will complete my macro + micro prerequisite. The chem or physics is not required for my major, and I would also take summer and winter classes offered or stay an extra semester (if allowed) to finish up. Thanks for the input!</p>
<p>P.s. - that “bad ass EC’s” comment - lol is that a good thing?</p>
<p>Because AEM is in cals…they must abide by THE CALS graduation requirements, ergo…you do need another science class…and about the EC’s…i was thinking of someone else’s, but none the less, they are good, but nothing that makes me want to touch my self.</p>
<p>but then again…i highly recommend you look at the uc schools( ucla, etc).</p>
<p>Will definitely be looking at other schools as well but heres the breakdown for the CALS and AEM requirements per their website:</p>
<p>CALS -</p>
<ul>
<li><p>One full academic year of Introductory Biology with hands-on labs (i.e. Biology I and Biology II). Students interested in Communication, Development Sociology, Information Science and Landscape Architecture are not required to take the labs and can take an Introductory Biology course sequence for non-science majors. Those interested in Applied Economics and Management are encouraged (though not required) to take Introductory Biology. Again, labs will not be required for the Applied Economics and Management major.</p></li>
<li><p>Two College Writing/English Composition (not literature or writing intensive) courses or one writing/composition course and one Public Speaking course</p></li>
</ul>
<p>AEM - <a href=“Applied Economics and Management Degree Program | Cornell Dyson”>Applied Economics and Management Degree Program | Cornell Dyson;
<p>i dont know what your problem is mate…what part of AEM is a major of CALS do you not understand, aem is a core you have to complete, but to graduate you have to have the cals distributions completed…why do you think they put physics or chemistry in the recommended section of the the AEM transfer requirements…</p>
<p>No need to give an attitude my friend, I’m just trying to get clarification on this entire process. I hope that some of my classes will be able to transfer into the CALS distribution requirements that they have - (ex: foreign language). So for example, if I took Calculus I and that is both a distribution requirement AND a requirement for AEM core then that takes care of both of those requirements correct?</p>
<p>Like I said, I’m willing to take summer + winter classes to go to Cornell.</p>
<p>yes you are correct… calculus 1 will be able to fill the aem and the distribution…
but when i read you statements i get this feeling that you think its easy to get into cornell AEM just because you have the courses complete, i know a kid who only did the required and none of the recommended courses and still got in.
i just get this vibe from you that says that AEM is just a peace of cake
then again don’t we all hope for this…</p>
<p>In no way do I think any program at Cornell is easy to get into, but when decisions are made, sometimes it makes admissions easier when the transfer would be smoother than lets say a sophomore with no prerequisite classes completed. I’ve mostly tried to stay on the other side of caution so that I have the best chance, not the easiest, to get into Cornell. If it was a piece of cake I probably wouldn’t be on this board so much. :)</p>
<p>what do you mean by a sophomore student with no prerequisite completed!!</p>
<p>I mean a transfer who hasn’t taken the necessary classes.</p>
<p>wow ok…did you know the majority of transfers to cornell AEM are sophomores…ergo almost all of them have completed the required prerequisites …you did not even know the AEM major existed a few weeks ago, and all the courses you took your first year says that,</p>
<p>Yo jasonbourne, could you show me some concrete evidence that shows that the “majority of transfers to cornell aem are sophomores”? I just am not completely sure, so I just want some concrete proof showing the numbers. Perhaps less students apply as incoming juniors and perhaps the gap isn’t as big as it sounds.</p>
<p>i never said anything about who applies…all i said was that cornell accepts a lot of sophomore transfers, more than juniors…this was what the admin lady told me…they always prefer a sophomore over a junior but only if the sophomore is qualified.
this topic was debated in past transfer threads…
and don’t worry ill23will4…just cause they have more sophomores coming in does not mean they don’t have any juniors, i have seen your stats…they are really competitive
i just have this huge beef with this deadhead guy…</p>
<p>And can you cool it with the attitude?</p>
<p>deadhead654
I think that jason is trying to help you in all honesty. </p>
<p>I didn’t read all your earlier posts, but just make sure that you fulfill all the “required courses.” I sent cornell an email and this lady responded back stating they are very into required courses. The encouraged courses are only recommended, but not required, so that is why they call em encouraged lol. </p>
<p>Deadhead, don’t take anything personal on cc, people are only trying to help you</p>
<p>I personally think its better if you get some constructive criticism on here, than get a rejection letter in the mail.</p>
<p>I understand that he’s trying to help, and I appreciate that, but what I don’t appreciate is the unwarranted sarcasm and assumptions about me. </p>
<p>“i just get this vibe from you that says that AEM is just a peace of cake…” huh? When did I ever say that? I’m trying to feel my way through this process without feeling like I have a strong chance, thus if the rejection letter does come I won’t be crushed.</p>
<p>I understand the “required courses” and I spoke with an admissions dean from CAS when I visited there. She told me that the school has the ability to grant an extra semester if a student can finish their degree. I’ll say it again, I would do winter + summer sessions to graduate from Cornell, it’s worth it to me. I’m also anticipating transfering with an Associates degree which I hope would create a smoother transition course-wise then if I didn’t get the degree. </p>
<p>Bottom line: I appreciate the help, VERY much - just not the unecessary attitude.</p>
