Cornell AEM Waitlist

<p>I was waitlisted at AEM, does anyone know what the acceptance rates for this program or CALS?</p>

<p>AEM is around 15%. CALS is around 25-30%. </p>

<p>I honestly don't think the chances of getting off the waitlist into AEM are all that good, not with the recent BusinessWeek #4 ranking. Business major types like their ranking schemes. But even beyond that, something like half of the AEM class is filled with varsity athletes every year.</p>

<p>wow, thanks. do you know if contacting the department or individual professors is a good idea?</p>

<p>You can do the same thing I mentioned on the other thread:</p>

<p>Only find the appropriate mailing address for the CALS Admissions Office.</p>

<p>How many people got off the AEM waitlist these past few years?</p>

<p>We don't know. We just know that roughly 14% got off the waitlist as a whole last year.</p>

<p>Yes, AEM moving up to #4 is bad news for waitlisters as the yield will be even higher this year.</p>

<p>plus many people within Cornell who keep wanting to transfer into AEM.</p>
