<p>Tax guy, if u are interested in accounting i wouldnt consider AEM because it only has 2 accounting courses.</p>
<p>MNOAAA12, Yes, you are correct. Also, I am not sure that I would recommend Cornell's new business program yet. It doesn't have an established reputation yet and will probably have some initial bugs.</p>
<p>I have a friend who attended Yale for her MBA when Yale had it in operation only a couple of years. She REALLY didn't like the program and thought it could be much better. I suspect the same can be said for Cornell's program. I would recommend another prestigious school over that of Cornell for awhile.</p>
<p>taxguy, "It doesn't have an established reputation yet and will probably have some initial bugs"? </p>
<p>is that a joke?</p>
<p>If the business program is relatively new (within a few years),it won't have the established reputation as with a Michigan, Wharton, NYU etc. If the program has been around for 10 years or more then that is a different story.</p>
<p>Actually I believe AEM is quite old, the accreditation on the other hand is new.</p>
<p>by the time you graduate, itll probably get super selective. it pretty much is that way right now anyway. cornell as a whole, has a good reputation and every major company you'd want to work for recruits AEM majors. its all good fellas.</p>
<p>EDIT: in turn, rankings will increase as well</p>
<p>taxguy, fyi, the admission rate for AEM is below 15 percent. recruitment wise it is only behind HYPS, MIT, Wharton and Columbia.</p>
<p>this year it's less than a 10% acceptance rate... the average sat also went up a bit.</p>
<p>It's starting to gain a lot of attention as well.</p>
<p>Do you happen to know the average SAT?</p>
<p>I agree with the recruiting comments above about the leaders being Ivies, Wharton, Ross, Stern, Sloan, McIntire, etc., but I should also point out that Indiana University has a very limited program call the Investment Banking Workshop. </p>
<p>It's only open to the top 60 or so business students at the Kelley School of Business, and only by invitation, but it's placement rate into IB jobs last year was 100%, and the year previously was 93% (granted not all front-office postions). So it should also at least be considered--even if only as being just below the others on the recruiting list.</p>
<p>I should also point out that applications to Kelley almost doubled last year (this is via a Business Week article --the link is below), so they must be doing something right.</p>
