<p>I'm planning on transferring to Cornell CALS for Fall 08 admission. I'll be a junior in the Fall and I'm currently attending the Fashion Institute of Technology (SUNY). I also attended University of Mary Washington for a semester. I was wondering what my chances were if I were to apply to the AEM major.I was also going to select Communication as a back-up. Both my grandparents also attended Cornell.</p>
<p>Overall College GPA: 3.85
College EC: Phi Theta Kappa, American Marketing Association (exec. board; VP community service), Selected for Leadership Community at UMW.
HS GPA: 89/100
HS EC: 2 varsity sports, captain, NHS, Madrigals (Select a cappella group) Peer Leadership</p>
<p>lol! ur in.... CALS has one of the highest acceptance rates ... Unfortunately, where Cornell maintains the status of a private school ... many external sources refer to CALS as a public school within Cornell....</p>
<p>CALS has a high acceptance rate, but AEM is definitely one of the hardest majors to transfer into. I don't know how that works, but I wouldn't say you are in like pakiboy says. You do have the fact that you're a NY resident and the fact that you have legacy going for you. I would give you a very good chance.</p>
<p>view pakiboy's past threads he says that everyone is in where ever they apply....keep in mind that the AEM major at Cornell has a 14% acceptance rate....I was accepted this semester i had a 3.77 from NYU Stern and 1460 on the SATS</p>
<p>Yea ....its nearly impossible to get in without having all the pre-reqs done...last year was a disaster (check the fall 2007 transfer thread...kids with really good grades and test scores were not granted admission b/c they didn't finish the pre-req...thats just giving them a reason to eliminate you from the process.You should have them done or be in the process of having them done</p>
<p>I guess I really didn't want to take the pre-reqs, and that's why I'm applying to the hotel school instead of AEM. Is the Chem pre-req for the Hotel Schools as big a deal?</p>
<p>Yeah I have all the required prep work done..and I am going to have all the recommended prep work done as well...except physics because they said you could take chem or physics. I'm taking chem this semester, but do you think I need to take a lab with it? I called Cornell today and they said it couldn't hurt but I'm not sure it's going to fit smoothly into my schedule. As far as AEM, do you think it helps that I'm a girl? When I was at the transfer day this past semester they said they were looking for more girls. Also, do you think if they don't have enough room for me in AEM, they will take me as a Communication student? Thanks guys!!</p>
<p>i don't know if having your grandparents who attended cornell counts as a legacy applicant. also, that 89/100 average..is that coming from stuyvesant? because if not..it isn't saying much. where are your SAT scores? SAT IIs perhaps? AEM is probably one of the hardest majors to be admitted into as a transfer at cornell. if you're into fashion and all that other business-related nonsense try considering their hotel school (i know its a lot more expensive, because its not state-funded, but easier to get into), or look into the Apparel and Textile Management major within the College of Human Ecology (state funded, same price as CALS), or the Industrial and Labor Relations major within...ILR (also state-funded, but BORING school). okay have fun.</p>
<p>true story... well kind of.. its not that CALS doesn't accept SAT scores for transfers just that they are not required and you are strongly discouraged from submitting them... that comes from the admissions themselves as I also attended transfer day last semester</p>
<p>Ok so this is a bit off topic, but I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere. Does anyone know if the McDonough business school at Georgetown is harder to get into than the college of arts and sciences?</p>
<p>We're talking about CALS transfer admissions here buddy not CAS. CAS most definitely requires your SAT scores no matter what. Do your research before you come argue me.</p>
