<p>Never mind about my question about the essay and Cornell Supplement. I checked it out online.</p>

<p>Too lazy. We knew someone would do it for us. :]</p>
<p>Whoever asked about aem/info science being a tough major is completely stressed out. Aem is one of those majors where the means in most classes is over an A-. I've heard of many people with over 4.0 gpas in aem. I'm not sure about info science, but if you really want to double major, then go for it. The workload I doubt will be extremely tough. It really isn't extremely tough for any major as long as you manage your time well (aka, not being on CC while at the library trying to finish a p-set.)</p>
<p>For intro sciences, anyone can take any class that is in any school. For the intro classes such as chem, psych, bio, and math, there are people from nearly every school barring archies and hotelies for the most part. There are pretty much no restrictions on what classes you can take other than prereqs and availability.</p>
<p>Really? I was actually in a class and I saw the grading curve because the professor actually showed the number of people who got A's, B's, etc. The mean was an 80 and there were <50 A's, 200+ B's, 200+ C's, and 70+ D's. and ofcourse, there were 10+ F's. I don't think it's THAT easy to get an A in the course. The average was a 79. But then again, it could have been just THAT particular course that was harder.</p>
<p>There are a ton of recruited athletes in AEM. The mean is an 80, which is high by most Cornell standards, example, the mean on the past two general chem prelims were a 64 and 67 respectively.</p>
<p>True. </p>
<p>I don't think that the mean was an A- like you said earlier. That seemed quite impossible. I'm surprised that since it's considered so "easy," there's still a lot of banks and whatnot who like to recruit from them. I guess it's due to the overall reputation and prestige of the school?</p>
<p>Yeah, of course, AEM is really a great school and a great major. It's just that as an engineer I feel resentful that the means are like 10 points higher all the time, and that for most likely less work, they can earn the same amount of money if not more when they get out of college. But of course, I enjoy my major. :)</p>
<p>You can go into business after getting your engineering degree though. A lot of people do that. It actually would be a good option if you wanted to make a substantial amount of money, although engineers generally do too. Anyhow, I'll just sit here and pray till December 15th that I can get into CALS atleast. I doubt they'll let me into AEM since so many qualified people apply... which I am very sad about. Hahaha.</p>
<p>hey do we need a fan in our rooms? I saw a fan in almost every dorm photo. And btw is Cornell hot as well as cold :S?</p>
<p>i don't believe it is as high as A-. i've seen the grade dsitribution, it seemed that the mean was around a B+ for AEM. there are plenty of other majors at cornell with the same mean.</p>
<p>Mak5im- you will need a fan in your room for the first month or two at cornell because it is pretty hot. after that it will cool down and you'll be fine an regular room temperature. and yes cornell is hot for the first two months and then in october it starts to cool down and feel like fall weather. and then by november it begins to get chilly.</p>
<p>I think the work load is significantly less for AEM than other majors for the same grade. That's what makes AEM easier.</p>
<p>To quote one of my friends who is in AEM in response to my remark that he doesn't do anything: "What do you mean? I'm always busy with frat stuff. Pledging takes a lot of time."</p>
<p>aren't some of the newer freshman dorms air conditioned?</p>
<p>It seems like there's a lot of grade deflation in the other majors. 64 being the MEAN? that's insanity.</p>
<p>I know hockey is the most popular sport, but is Track a big thing at Cornell? What about other sports?</p>
<p>track isn't really followed. Lacrosse is pretty big, we follow football and basketball some, but the games aren't that well attended.</p>
<p>It will be a big change if i decide to go to cornell. Ive been attending university of florida football games all of my life.</p>
<p>sweet, you're from gainesville? so am I.</p>
<p>I don't think it's a huge adjustment if you're a sports fan. Growing up in the Bay Area, I've always been a baseball/basketball/football kinda guy (although I rarely admit to being a Warriors fan). I had no problem picking up hockey at Cornell. I go more for the atmosphere than anything, especially this past season cuz the hockey team flat out sucked. I went to Ben Scrivens' first start and watched him give up 3 goals on the first 5 shots. Gone are the days of David McKee and his 59-save performance in the NCAA tournament, taking a shutout into triple overtime. </p>
<p>Anyway, I digress. Whether you're at a Cornell hockey game, Duke basketball game, or Florida football game, you're going to get that same type of environment.</p>
