<p>lol the business school</p>

3

<p>what’s that supposed to mean? The school was ranked 14th for undergraduate by businessweek</p>

4

<p>30% of your school has 3.7 unweighted?</p>

<p>You’re school must be crazy easy, bro.</p>

<p>also lol the business school</p>

5

<p>so are you going to chance it or be a dick?</p>

6

<p>are you gonna research the school before or just apply cause its an iv?></p>

7

<p>I did. Like i said, the business school is often ranked in the top twenty and i’m interested in the New York area. I don’t care that it’s an Ivy, if i manage to get into NYU stern I’ll go there instead anyways</p>

<p>I don’t believe Cornell has an undergraduate business school…</p>

<p>The only thing closely related is the AEM program…</p>

<p>HAVE A GREAT DAY.</p>

<p>I meant the AEM. It seems a lot more selective though than i had thought so probably not.</p>

11

<p>hahhaa…as older CC members, we must try not be TOO mean to noobies..</p>

<p>I’d say you have a decent shot shanekennedy. You’re def. not out of the running to be an AEM admit, but it IS one of the most competitive majors to get into at Cornell.</p>

12

<p>I think football will actually help you A LOT. Cornell sucks at football (unfortunatly), and that is not a common EC for this school. Like yousonofatree said, AEM is VERY difficult, but you have a shot. Try to show a side of you in your supp. essay that is very… well lack of a better term, businessy.</p>

13

<p>Agreed, Cornell blows at football, you’d make a nice addition. Plus, you seem like a solid student athlete. This may work.</p>

14

<p>yupp, use that “hook” to your advantage</p>

15

<p>I was planning on submitting the essay i wrote for NYU on football and how it has effected my life. Do you think i should write another one that is based more on the lines of business or use the football one because it’s a decent hook?</p>

16

<p>I would combine them, and connect football with business, if you can. THAT would be great!</p>

17

<p>An athlete going into AEM, who’d have thought?</p>

18

<p>i dont think the athletics will help youunless you got recruited…and sorry if you are and i missed the post.</p>

19

<p>kinda rare, isnt it, norcalguy? lol</p>

<p>Even if football doesn’t help me (I don’t plan on playing yet), do you think i have an okay chance?</p>
