<p>the main reason why cornell was ranked 14 in business week is because some moron forgot to give them our average SAT scores, so we were given a 1 out of 6 in that category</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Copying summary here:</p>

<p>Wow, its weird to see something I did listed under the other accomplishments section of the admissions update.</p>
<p>i would expect the SAT median to be a lil higher</p>
<p>cthat is lower than cornell on average, it just goes to show u that the program has a way to go.....</p>
<p>16% offered admission i'm sure cornell could be rather picky about SAT scores. I'm guessing they realize that SAT score does not predict success in business.</p>
<p>Still...those SATs are mad low. I would think that the Verbal would be at least 700...having good writing/reading/speaking skills would be essential to business I'd imagine.</p>
<p>I looked for those types of stats in ILR but I couldn't find them. Did you have some secret to finding those? lol thnx</p>
<p>"the main reason why cornell was ranked 14 in business week is because some moron forgot to give them our average SAT scores, so we were given a 1 out of 6 in that category"</p>
<p>Does this have any truth to it? Where did you hear this?</p>
<p>Ya I've actually been thinking about this...</p>
<p>"The academic abilities and diversity of the 136 admitted students were exceptional. Their median SAT was 1360, with 44% reporting SAT scores of 1400 or better."</p>
<p>That does seem rather low, and with less than half of the kids having 1400 or better? But it does say there was a lot of leadership skills reflected by the students, and over half had work experience at big firms.</p>
<p>If you know about Cornell, then you know that SAT's aren't everything...the complete person REALLY does matter...</p>
<p>Heh, 14th....that's ridiculous.</p>
<p>AEM is FAR better than the ranking received.</p>
<p>My AEM friends and I also had SAT's far above 1400, so that doesn't really apply to everyone.</p>
<p>well, there was a kid on my floor in AEM, i am not even kidding, he was from rural upstate new york, his sat score, u won't believe me</p>
<p>1060</p>
<p>he is a nice kid, but i mean, he wasn't really academically fit to be in such a rigorous environment. He was getting Cs in intro econ.</p>
<p>LOL, I will say though, there are definitely a lot of dumb AEM majors. </p>
<p>There are also a lot of intelligent ones, but I can't say they comprise the majority.</p>
<p>but isnt AEM the hardest program to get into, so shouldnt it have some of the smartest majors?</p>
<p>No. AEM looks for a certain type, and I don't believe it's the hardest program to get into. Even if it does have the lowest admit rate, which I don't think is necessarily even the case for this year, AEM doesn't look for the same criteria that A&S and Engineering look for.</p>
<p>I have heard that AEM is very hard to get into so I think you are stereotyping based on a few people that you have met...I mean I doubt the majority of any type of people at Cornell are stupid...</p>
