<p>Can someone explain some more about this program and some admission statistics?
I have heard great things about it, but I am confused; I heard it was part of the NYS College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I also heard there is the Charles H. Dyson School now? Where is it actually a part of? </p>

<p>What does NYS have to do with it? How much different is it from Arts/Sciences? How selective is the business program, compared to Arts and Sciences or Engineering?</p>

<p>Thanks! As you can tell I am a little clueless XD</p>

<p>First off, “Arts and Sciences” and “Engineering” are names of colleges at the university. Secondly, the program you are talking about is a major by the name of “Applied Economics and Management” (in the newly dubbed Dyson school). AEM is the school’s undergraduate business program and has a reputation for being quite selective. Also, AEM is located in the College of Agricultute and Life Sciences, which is one of the “contract” colleges at the university. For New York residents, tuition for the contract colleges is much cheaper than that of the other colleges.</p>

<p>Oooh ok thanks! So it is Cornell U->College of Agriculture and Life Sciences->Dyson School</p>

<p>Would I apply to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences or directly to the Dyson School?</p>

<p>Does anyone have any statistics on the AEM program, eg. acceptance rate, median SAT?</p>

<p>Well, you would choose to apply to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences on the supplement; and you would put the major number for AEM (140 currently) on the paper.</p>
