<p>I am wavering between Georgetown(EA) and Cornell(ED)? So which is easier to go if I am an international who get 2150 SAT. I will retake in November to get 2200+? I apply for Financial aid</p>
<p>Georgetown provides the better opportunities, given its location, stronger business alumni network, new business school building, focus on undergraduate education, and more international/crosscultural opportunities. Admissions difficulty is so similar that it probably shouldn’t influence your decision.</p>
<p>Have you investigated the financial aid policies for internationals at each school? It would be important to know if they are need-aware or need-blind for international admissions, as well as how much aid they award to internationals.</p>
<p>Cornell does not meet full financial need for Internationals, thus you should not apply ED there. I do not know about Georgetown’s finaid, but I disagree about admissions difficulty. With ED, I would guess that Cornell would be a little easier. Also note that Cornell’s undergrad biz program is in the Ag school so you will have to also take science courses.</p>
<p>The AEM program at Cornell is now called the Dyson School, following a $25 million donation.
It is very competitive, accepting only 14% of applicants last year.</p>
<p>So should I ED to AEM school? I think that there are a lot of NY residents + athlthes + legacies applicants this year :(. I am considering Econs at Cornell but I am afraid that liberal arts Econs + being international cant help me much get a good job in the US. So may be AEM is the best now. Can AEM help me both get a job and get into prestigious MBA programs?
What about Cornell Enginering? Can I get a job related to business when graduating from Engineering school? Which one is better for an MBA and business job: Econs or Engineering?
I know that Cornell has limited aid for international students but the amount of aid Cornell gave to international students last year was more than that of Georgetown. Cornell gave to 50-60 internationals and Georgetown 30 only</p>
<p>How do you expect to get job after graduation on a U.S. student visa?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, and Cornell is ~twice the size (undergrad population). Cornell has 14,000 undergrads and Georgetown has 7,500.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps overall, but acceptance rate for ED is much, much higher for Cornell overall; dunno about AEM specifically. And, are previous numbers inflated due to the fact in its former life, AEM was part of the Ag school which offered instate tuition rates? (A lot of low stat New Yorkers apply to Cornell as a lottery pick for instate rates.)</p>
<p>OP: one does not need an undergrad degree in Biz to apply to prestigious MBA programs. What one needs is awesome work experience. An English Lit major with 3+ years at McKinsey would be a shoe-in to Harvard School of Business.</p>
<p>For the university as a whole, Cornell admitted 18% of applicants - 32% of ED applicants, 16% RD.
Students apply directly to Dyson [AEM], though its still part of A&LS.</p>
<p>LakeWashington: if I am recruited by a company, can I ?</p>
<p>That would require an SB-1 Visa, wouldn’t it? And such Visas are not automatically granted just because you’re a newly minted college graduate.</p>
<p>Oh, that is the reason why I asked. Which is more likely to be recruited after graduation?</p>
