<p>what you think about it?</p>
<p>Recruitment wise?</p>
<p>Did you get in?</p>
<p>I guess he did (Location shows Ithaca). I read on BusinessWeek that the location doesn't stop recruiters from going there. Congrats on getting in!</p>
<p>Cornell is Ivy league, nuff said</p>
<p>I just was on the Cornell website and didn't see any program for undergraduate business other than the normal programs offered by the school of Industrial Relations. Where can I find information on their new program?</p>

<p>Cornell's Undergrad Business program is in CALS.</p>
<p>Thanks for the URLs. I find it odd that they don't have a concentration in accounting.</p>
<p>Some schools just offer a degree in business without any concentrations.</p>
<p>redhare, Cornell does have concentrations (Finance, Strategy etc) just not one in Accounting.</p>
<p>what do you mean a new business program. I was under the impression AEM is the only business program here?</p>
<p>AEM is the only business program true, however AEM itself is relatively new compared to others.</p>
<p>"Getting internship is a problem. Same is true for final placements."</p>
<p>This is what I have been told by a graduating student. However, it could be his personal experience and not true for the entire class. </p>
<p>I have tried to dig as much as possible from people I know, in the Wall Street. The names that came out are:
1. Wharton
2. Ross/ Stern/ McIntire</p>
<p>Again, the people I checked with may not have the right picture. But what appeared to me true was that Econ degree from one of the top universities is as good as the undergrad business degree. In fact, some said for entry level IB jobs, a good econ degree is valued more! </p>
<p>In terms of academic experience, college life, cost, internship and final placements, my own selection is as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Wharton</li>
<li>McIntire</li>
<li>Ross</li>
<li>Stern<br></li>
</ol>
<p>I don't have any statistical data to substantiate, though my extensive research from available information and personal interaction with senior people in Consulting and IB Firms, made me believe that I could be very close to ground reality.</p>
<p>In terms of Wall Street recruitment:
Wharton=Harvard>YPS>Rest of the Ivy's= MIT>Duke>Mich=Stern>UVA</p>
<p>leo, Where'd you get the stats ? MIT, Stern and UVA get recruited pretty aggressively IMO.</p>
<p>milki, like i said in another thread. if a recruiter comes to your school with the intention of taking 10 total interns, would you rather compete with 80 students or 300 students? </p>
<p>i dont know about UVA or stern. but AEM places about half of its graduates into the financial services and consulting industry.</p>
<p>I'm aware harvard, but I believe MIT Sloan doesn't have that many students either (I think it's like 200 or something) which is quite comparable with Cornell AEM (219 ?)</p>
<p>im not sure. but the entering freshman class for AEM is 90. the graduating class is around 200. MIT sloan is different, it has an entirely different set of curriculum. I would compare it more to an OR curriculum? and its not fair to compare MIT to cornell. if you graduate at MIT, you are surely on your way to a nice consulting job at McKinsey or osmething. recruitment wise, they are not on the same level. MIT and Harvard would make a better comparison.</p>
<p>I'm not comparing the two. I was responding to leo187um.</p>

</p>
<p>I was precisely saying the same thing (MIT has an edge of the "Rest of the Ivy's)</p>
<p>Yes that was my mistake, put MIT with YPS</p>
<p>shouldn't Chicago econ be in there?</p>
