<p>I knew someone would say this. My view is that I’d rather have an opportunity to study at one of Cornell’s less prestigious schools than to not have the opportunity to study at Cornell at all.</p>
<p>You might have to look at programs/individual degrees… I know here at michigan the engineering school has different minimum requirements for different programs/degrees.</p>
<p>Hi! You’ve no doubt seen that those schools/colleges you called “less prestigious” have apparently high acceptance rates for transfers. That’s right, they do. ILR and CALS, though, offer guaranteed transfers (GT’s) which are just a GPA check for applicants and which inflate the heck out of the acceptance stats. I applied for Fall 10 transfer to ILR and received a GT offer for the coming Spring. As for the easiest school to get into at Cornell, that’s the school where you are passionate about what you’re studying. Cornell transfer admissions is, apparently, about fit more than anything else. I know that I got in on the strength of my essays and my passion for the subject.</p>
<p>I was going to rant about your use of the word “prestige”, because it seems that people believe that contract college necessarily equates to lower prestige, but you probably don’t know better. The AEM program within CALS and ILR are extremely well-regarded within their fields. Anyway, PM me if you have questions about ILR transfer admissions or my experience applying and best of luck to you in your application process.</p>
<p>i second that you don’t deserve to be there. don’t look for an easy way in. if you deserve it, they’ll take you. </p>
<p>and you’re also wrong about applying to more than one college. that’s only for freshman admissions and very few people are passed to the other.</p>
<p>the other schools are deff not less prestigious. the AEM program just got 200,000 million dollars of funding to become its own school. it is ranked 4th on the best undergraduate business programs list by usnw. only behind the likes of wharton, mccintire and so on. aem is in CALS which is not CAS and is arguably better than alot of the programs in CAS based on their ranking with other universities</p>
