<p>So yeah, I got deferred by Cornell AEM. I would just like to know what are the chances of getting accepted by Cornell for a deferred student, what are the chances of getting a GT from Cornell, and how I can make my resume more meaningful or interesting during the three-month waiting period while on a very tight budget. My main interests are mathematics, tutoring, and choir, and I have dabbled in drawing, creative writing, photographic imaging, web designing, graphic imaging, cooking, dancing, and tennis. Thanks to all who respond back.</p>
<p>Bumpity bump up.</p>
<p>no one really knows because stats on this arent made public. Good luck though.</p>
<p>i was deferred AEM too. I am an international by the way. whre are you from vinhkhoi?</p>
<p>Well, I’m from the Northeast USA.</p>
<p>anyone can tell what defer means for AEM applicants? (since it is the most competitive major?)</p>
<p>My friend’s son was deferred for AEM last year with a 3.7 and 2150. He was later given GT. He is from NY, and private school.</p>
<p>AEM may be easier this year because of financial industry melt down. </p>
<p>I would send another packet to Cornell - latest transcript, another recommendation, a letter of interest (include addition awards or ECs).</p>
<p>I doubt AEM is easier this year. It’s in CALS so NY students get the tuition discount so competition is going to be fierce as always (11% acceptance rate last year).</p>
<p>will it be easier for international students?? esp for those who do not ask for financial aid?</p>
