How are business related internships viewed by schools like Cornell AEM...

Transfer Students

<p>Just as the thread title suggests I was curious as to how important an internship in a business related field would be to a transfer application to a school like Cornell AEM.</p>

<p>Just to give you an idea here are my stats currently</p>

<p>My top choice that I'm applying to is Cornell AEM, but I will also be applying to business school at Virginia, Georgetown and UNC. </p>

<p>HS record: not great at all, really average actually but I'm hoping my college record will offset this.</p>

<p>SATs: going to retake SAT and if my practice tests are any indication I should get around a 1400+ and a 750 or so on the writing.</p>

<p>College:</p>

<p>3.9 cum. GPA at a third tier state school in NC
ECs: president of pre-law club, VP of Blaw club</p>

<p>Internship at local BB PWM firm over freshman summer year for which I will get college credit</p>

<p>I realize that there are very few people on here that would have any real facts on this but to those that do would you say that the internship is a significant plus or hardly worth mentioning? What about my overall chances?</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Edit: I will also be taking a few SAT II's; probably Math IIc and Biology.</p>

<p>Well since no one on here has any information I just decided to call the school myself as i had a few other questions to ask anyway.</p>

<p>The lady I talked to told me that it would be looked at favorably and would probably give me points towards my "fit" into the AEM major. </p>

<p>Surprisingly, also she said that you aren't required to send in SAT scores and when I told her I was planning on retaking the SAT she basically told me not to bother that my money would be wasted as far as AEM is concerned. I also asked whether or not one's current school played into the admissions process and she told me that it did not matter at all.</p>
