<p>appleapple, i think the low median grade has something to do with student body as well. I mean, i hear hotelies complain about FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING ALL THE TIME. I took the equivalent, HA223 instead of HA121, which is essentially the same course except we do the SAME EXACT Dittman tests in an hour and a half instead of 3 hours. the mean of our class came out to be a 94 and the mean for the hotel-only class came out to be like a 78, and they had extra time toward the end since its a night prelim and we didn't.</p>
<p>Yeah, every class all my friends and I have taken outside of the hotel school we have aced...and how do you know its the same time, or do you just think its the same time. Hey man, you're not a hotelie, why are you giving me such a hard time anyways. You are not a hotelie so there's no "real" way to know what hotelies are or are not. I mean Im not going around saying that AEM is a joke...despite of what I think.</p>
<p>uh... its the same test... as in, every question is the same. Dittman made it. he even let his 121 class retake it... not giving you a hard time... just trying to provide an unbiased explanation of why the median grades are the way they are.</p>
<p>Niiiice! I like the look of the ILR course on that list of grades! lol</p>
<p>Dude, that class is not even taught by Dittman...Im sorry harvardman that you didnt get into harvard and ended up like cornell. Thank god collegeconfidential doesnt reveal names or else your room might be axe bombed by the hockey team.</p>

<p>ok...?</p>
<p>Umm, dude,
I dont know if the harvard batter in your head is making you stupid...
but reread what you just posted...
H ADM 121 Lec 01 and
H ADM 121 Lec 02....
it's the same class for different sections...both are hotel undergraduate only....</p>
<p>So What's your point?</p>
<p>we used the same test as 121, as in, dittman made your test AND my test, and 121 and 223 are essentially the same class taught by different professor. what is your point... i was only trying to give you a legitimate reason why the median grade is the way it is... can you give me an alternative explanation?</p>
<p>no need to start an e-war....</p>
<p>haha...don't think this is about me anymore</p>
<p>it alllllways has to be about u doesn't it!?!?!? MARSHA MARSHA MARSHA!</p>
<p>why couldn't life be like the brady bunch?</p>
<p>haha, bottomline, go to which ever school gives you more money that you feel like is more you. As chessy as it sounds college is more than just academics but a place will you will meet the people you'll be dealing with (and perhaps your signficant other). Go whever you feel like you can imagine urself walking down the street drinking a cup of coffee to go to your prelim.</p>
<p>and harvardman...my alternative explanation is hotel classes are hard and people think it's a joke because they never acutally took the classes. For example, the average grade for the culinary theory class is a B-...which is really low. And hte hotelie statastics is harder than any other stat in the school (particularily PAM) and I can say this from personal experience. Bottom line, you don't have to bash my school. We graduate and make alot of money...and our admission looks at your potential as opposed to merely your test score... and I think AEM is a good program. You just have to realize that hotel is also a business program alternative with a hospitality emphasis. I am not bashing you or anything.........just so you know, I have high respect for your program. Maybe you can for mine too.</p>
<p>wow, dontwanttogrowup, I am having the exact same dilemma as you!
Stern Scholar v. Cornell Hotel School (Meinig Family Scholars)?
the thing is, i at least want to try my hand at investment banking and don't want to be stuck in the traditional "hotel" jobs.........so i'd concentrate in finance at cornell, but i'm not sure about the recruitment......</p>
<p>but I can most likely graduate in 3 years from stern (AP credits) v. 3.5-4 yrs from Cornell</p>
<p>financial aid: stern gave me a scholarship of $15300 a year (renewable), and cornell hasn't even calculated my fin aid yet (i was missing some info)!!!!</p>
<p>so i don't know!!!!! help!
and another question: how do i post a new thread?</p>
<p>jobanana- you click the new thread button in the top left corner =]</p>
<p>lmaoooooooooooo ^^^ </p>
<p>But yeah on a more serious note... Take Stern jobanana89, in your scenario.The scholarship, and the ap credits work in ur favor.</p>
<p>Usually, I'd tell ppl take Cornell because of it's growing reputation in AEM (CALS) and in the Hotel School, two valuable undergrad schools that send out top grads to both the business and the hospitality field.</p>
<p>you definitely can get investment banking jobs from the Hotel School. and im sure youve heard about the cutthroat environment at stern.</p>
<p>hey jobanana89 -maybe we'll become schoolmates! hmm that I'd really want to go into ibanking too! For me right now, I love the courses at Stern cos I'm really interested in business, but it just seems that for everything else cornell is better, since my friends and I were just talking about stern (there would be 3 or 4 of us going to stern)... it seems like everyone there is like cutthroat asian planning to go into ibanking. I've heard rumors of people sabotaging their friends just so they'd do better on the bell curve. Obvously I don't know if it's true but I just don't know if I'd want to go to school is such an environment. So I guess, for me, I'm leaning towards cornell just because I love the courses at Stern but I like everything else at cornell...but I REALLY LIKE THOSE COURSES!</p>
<p>I would encourage people to go to Stern for one BIG reason. It's right in the middle of the business world. The financial market is like right next door to NYU. There is definitely more opportunities in New York City. It is so much more convenient to find a job in business at Stern. Some very prestigious people in the business world have spoken at Stern. Overall, Stern seems like a more practical and hands-on program than the hotel school. As the name implies, the "hotel" school is concentrated on the hospitality industry. Not that you wouldn't be able to get a job in finance or investment banking after you graduate from the hotel school, but it wouldn't be as easy as finding a job in the hospitality industry. You would have to work VERY hard and get good grades. And if the ranking of the programs are important to you, NYU Stern is ranked #5 for best undergraduate business programs while Cornell is ranked #14.</p>
<p>Cornell is #10</p>
<p>"Cornell University made the top ten of BusinessWeek?s best undergraduate business schools in the U.S. just five years after the Applied Economics and Management major became an accredited business program." From the Cornell Daily Sun. FIVE YEARS! Cornell is on the up n up!</p>
<p>And if ur talking about rankings it would be #1 Hotel school vs. #5 Business school. The OP is accepted to the hotel school at Cornell, not AEM. There's a difference.</p>
<p>Um I just checked sterns ranking and it's NINE. 2007 Business Week Rankings!</p>
