<p>The bussiness program at Cornell is housed in CALS, So if I wanted to get into the AEM program would I apply directly to AEM or do I just apply to CALS and major in AEM? I ask this because I am considering applying ED and I would like to be a bussiness major. The problem is that every single one of my EC's is health related (I.E. First aid squad, certified EMT, 100+ at hospital, Internship at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, Science League and Math League) Those extra curriculars are screaming premed and would definetly look a bit odd if I was applying to a bussiness program. Do you think it would be better to apply the Human Ecology school and then transfer into AEM, or should I apply to CALS/AEM directly? (If it turns out that AEM is just a major it would definetly be more apropriate to apply to CALS)</p>
<p>Ok, It appears that you apply directly to AEM given the fact that they only admit around 100 students</p>
<p>Your essay should be based primarily on AEM, not on CALS. (However, feel free to include information on electives you might wish to take at CALS as well.)</p>
<p>Also, AEM admits around 200 I think (overall size of ~800). Probably a little less for transfers and stuff through the years, but you get the idea.</p>
<p>Wait, so you can’t apply to CALS as an undecided major, then when you get there do AEM?</p>
<ol>
<li>it’s “business” - not “bussiness”</li>
<li>you apply to CALS, but they require all applicants to apply with a major (just as HumEc, Arch, ILR) - so then you apply to AEM as your major.</li>
<li>roneald is right about the essay</li>
<li>there’s generally an incoming class of ~90-100 freshmen. idk what their attrition rate is, but that’s the avg number of freshmen - take it as you want.</li>
</ol>
<p>I think you can only apply to CAS undecided.
If you want to get into AEM, you’ll have to specify that on your application.</p>
<p>Sorry about the size of the incoming class, my mistake*.</p>
<p>You can apply to engineering undecided as well.</p>
