Directed To Cornell Students

<p>if there are ALOT of people applying for one major will they like lower acceptance rate to the major or will they just make more room for that major and accept the people anyway?</p>

<p>There's really only a couple of competitive majors (AEM, bio).</p>

<p>just how competitive is AEM? is it the most difficult major to gain acceptance into at Cornell?</p>

<p>What about veterinary medicine??</p>

<p>Evidently, AEM is an incredibly impacted major. Only 16% of applicants wanting to major in AEM were admitted last year:</p>

<p>I have a feeling I won't be getting into Cornell.</p>

<p>Well the vet school is one of the best in the country. But your major for undergrad (animal science) seems okay.</p>

<p>"just how competitive is AEM? is it the most difficult major to gain acceptance into at Cornell?"</p>

<p>Arch has the lowest acceptance rate...single digits</p>

<p>But AEM is definitely competative...it's getting more and more recognition as time passes and even though it's already amazing, it will only get better. Definitely a nice place to learn business</p>

<p>and by bio you mean biological sciences in CAS?
oh NOS!</p>

<p>i think it depends on the department. for example, architecture has been actually cutting its class size (65 to now 55!) because they are opening up a new grad program. also, because students in architecture require so much attention from the professors and need their own studio space, it is impossible to increase the class size without dramatically increasing the school's resources. Plus Cornell likes to keep it a certain number</p>

<p>Wait, Bio? That's a bit general. Which one are you talking about? Biological Engineering (College of Engineering), Biological Sciences (2 schools), Biology & Society (3 schools right there), or Human Biology, Health, Society (College of Humec)?</p>

<p>Biological Sciences</p>
