<p>I am applying to Cornell as an AEM major but realistically have my sights set on UVa since I am in state with stats definitely in the range of being accepted. My question is twofold</p>
<p>In terms of education and just learning, which is better UVa McIntire or Cornell AEM, and lets say a concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship? Is there even a noticeable difference? </p>
<p>In terms of recruiting, starting salary, and other work related issues, which is better, would I have a better chance at a good job in finance from UVa or Cornell. I know that money and jobs aren't everything but they are something.</p>
<p>“but realistically have my sights set on UVa since I am in state …”
Go with McIntire. We don’t need you. BusinessWeek answers your question quite thoroughly.

<p>“Go with McIntire. We don’t need you.”</p>
<p>I don’t see the reason for this, I was just trying to point out that I know how hard Cornell is to get into and that the stark facts of life are that I have a much better shot at UVa than Cornell. I wasn’t trying to be arrogant or snobbish. Sometimes people on these forums get a little crazy. Anyways thanks for the link, but I wouldn’t mind if anybody who has more experience with either would give me some more direct advice.</p>
<p>That first response was a little too harsh…</p>
<p>I went with AEM over considering McIntire because I was looking for a 4 year program. As far as I know AEM is a little bit better for Wall St. because of the alumni connections and Ivy network, but both schools have great networks.</p>
<p>hahahaha irarchiedw why so harsh? what he is trying to say is that if you’re in-state, might as well go with McIntire since it’s also good anyway.</p>
<p>don’t worry, not all AEM kids are like that. maybe he was a little cranky.</p>
<p>if money is not a problem though, why dont you visit both schools and see where you see yourself?</p>
