<p>What are my chances of getting into the AEM program with regular decision?</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 770 Writing, 750 Math, 650 CR
SAT IIs: 800 Chinese, 760 US History, 730 World History, Will be taking Math II in December
GPA: We don't use the 4.0 scale...I have about a 94.8 average.
Rank: 89/850 - Top 11% </p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: FBLA - I was a National President's Assistant, advised the national president on certain isses. Won numerous business awards. I also have many other business-related extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Essays: Amazing essays. My english teacher said they were the best she had ever read</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: One amazing. One ok.</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: Great, tho not amazing</p>

<p>Hook (if any): I attended Cornell's summer business program and earned a 4.0. The professor also wrote a recommendation for me and called me the best in the program. </p>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<p>School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Asian (Chinese)
Gender: Male</p>

<p>Special situations: I did terribly in my freshman year, with averages in the 70s. But ever since my sophomore yr, Ive been earning 99s. If not for freshman yr, I would have been top 2-3%</p>

<p>why didnt u apply for ED?</p>

6

<p>I like to be able to choose so I dont want to commit</p>

7

<p>you have a good chance for ED, and decent chance for RD. But i am not sure how many kids AEM will take from ED, so i can't say ur chance for RD.</p>

<p>Rogue, I think u have a great chance, especially since Cornell considers the fact that u attended their business program and earned a 4.0. Was ur professor david taylor? cals looks at fit very heavily and since the professor called u the best, i think u have an edge over other applicants. as cornellhopeful11 said, FBLA will help u alot, especially that national position.</p>

<p>yes, my professor was taylor. he was a great prof. thx kmr</p>

<p>With a 2170 SAT, strong Subject Test scores, and strong GPA, I think your chances are looking pretty good, especially with a recommendation from a Cornell professor! I'm assuming that FBLA isn't your only extracurricular, but it does show your interest in business. Being an NY resident also works in your favor.</p>

<p>Btw, I wouldn't worry too much about your freshman year if you had stellar grades in the latter years cause I heard many schools put less weight on 9th grade.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance and I hope we both get in, too! =)</p>

<p>I would say u have an average shot at AEM for RD. Your SAT is quite good apart from your Critical Reading, which is worrying. Your EC's look like ur trump cause u have shown an interest in business and have leadership experience .Btw i did Business World over the summer as well. The course wasn't great, but the experience was awesome.</p>
