<p>network is fine with ilr… grade deflation is nonexistant in aem and ilr its only bad in engineering and sciences mostly.</p>
<p>^^ Yeah, that’s the typical standard I’ve heard. I was just worried prematurely since I’m looking to go to law school so you can see why GPA is important. </p>
<p>Also jcas, do you have any particular experience with ILR networking? I’m just wondering what types of jobs/internships/opportunities you were offered (finance, HR, etc)</p>
<p>I’m an ILR alum, and the network is fantastic for HR, labor law and arbitration, and general management. It’s getting stronger for other areas, but really, once you leave those specialties, you simply plug into the wider Cornell network, which is great in its own right.</p>
<p>for cornell recruiting, you see the following common things on the website where companies post jobs: </p>
<p>engineering jobs that only engineers can apply to
hospitality jobs that only hotel can apply to
hr jobs/hr consulting that only ilr can apply to
finance/consulting jobs that only engineering can apply to (op research oriented)
sales/marketing/finance/consulting jobs that university wide can apply to (including ilr)</p>
<p>and then you will sometimes see finance/marketing/sales jobs have a second listing (even though it is for the same job) just for cals (targeting aem) meaning there will be a smaller applicant pool/separate interviews in cals and they will take a few cals people and a few from the entire university pool. this only happens for a few finance/banking positions, and doesnt really mean there are more cals kids getting offers then university wide, just that the selection pool is more specific for their interviews.</p>
<p>as an ilr student, you will be allowed to tap into the wider cornell network as described by cayugared, which is really great and not limiting in any way. hopefully that is not too confusing.</p>
<p>i am not in ilr, but i know or have met (in interviews) a bunch of ilr people that got jobs at towers perrin (hr consulting), mercer (hr consulting), corporate executive board (best practices consulting), merrill lynch (finance and hr), j oppenhiemer (finance), ernst and young (consulting/accounting), deloitte (hr consulting, and general consulting/accounting), pricewaterhousecoopers (consulting/accounting/hr consulting) etc.</p>
<p>^^ jcas323:</p>
<p>Thank you SO much. That is actually exactly what I was looking for. I was worried that most of the finance/banking/consulting offers would be AEM only, but thank you very much for clearing this up for me =]</p>
