<p>I am a liberal Arts Business major who has taken a few science classes @ my community college. My GPA 3.97. I know its engineering is really good. How is its business program in Applied economics and Agriculture school? ( I know its overall rank is high) Which one do you suggest me to apply? Which one will give me the most chance to get in? I am a girl and I am interested in its chemical engineering or operation research program in engineering school, and finance in its Applied Economics school. Thank you.</p>
<p>Statistically speaking, being a female applying to the college of engineering at Cornell will give you one of the best chances. I think the acceptance rate for females for the College of Engineering is about 45%. Additionally, the Operations Research program is highly ranked( I think it’s #3).</p>
<p>In the engineering school, you can get a minor in AEM. This minor is open to all majors except operations research, which I suppose tells you a little bit about the direction of OR at cornell. However, the minor is competitive to get in to and ChemE’s usually have very little time to take extra classes do to the rigor and structure of the major.</p>
<p>Is it hard to double major something in CAS with AEM?</p>
<p>You can’t do engineering or business at Cornel. Cornel is a type of dogwood.</p>
<p>Since the Ag School is a state-funded school, it’s harder (but not impossible) to get in as an out-of-state student than if you were to apply to the Engineering school. Someone has already mentioned the shortage of women students in Engineering, and that is very true.</p>
<p>ChemE is a much smaller program than the very popular OR program. I will say this (I graduated from Cornell’s OR department): smaller is better. I took classes in both ChemE and OR, and the profs in CE knew my name because the classes were much smaller. I felt that the large size of even the upper-class courses in OR hindered my college experience.</p>
<p>But things may have changed. Do go for a visit and see for yourself.</p>
<p>What kind of course do you study as an OR? Is that related to business? And what kind of job did you get?</p>
<p>its all about improving efficiency. Essentially, it is a super math heavy business major. A lot of the OR people go on to working on wall street or big business somewhere.</p>
