<p>Thank you much</p>
<p>bumpbump
come on anyone</p>
<p>I'm not an AEM major, but about half the class in AEM tends to consist of recruited athletes. I read somewhere that the avg. SAT score was about 1350, but this is because of the recruited athletes bringing the average down. Get 2200 or 2250 + and you should be fine.</p>
<p>why on earth AEM accepts half of the students as atheletes?????</p>
<p>so weird...</p>
<p>arinkk -
Good question...
Answer - Because it is inaccurate information. Don't believe everything you read on this boards.</p>
<p>Well...a CALS adcom member did tell me in May that there are 95 seats available for freshman students and this number goes down to 75 because of recruited athletes.</p>
<p>Dewdrop - you're one of my favorite posters, and I don't want to argue with you... I would want to hire you if you weren't pre-med ;)! You have the kind of tenacity that would serve you well in business. You're a thoughtful writer (you let your personality shine in your writings) and have great research skills. You would be a wonderful financial analyst (fall back if Tulane doesn't work out!)</p>
<p>It's not a set number - AEM is such an popular program with great alum connections that many recruited athletes apply to that program - often it's what makes Cornell seem attractive to them over another univeristy they are being recruited for. There are also a lot of recruits in Comm in CALS, ILR, Hum Ec (PAM) and in CAS. And of course you can find them in all of the other colleges/programs as well. </p>
<p>With the present rankings and the current quality of student applying to AEM, I think that the athletic numbers will go down. I'm not saying that AEM will be Wharton soon, but it is increasingly working its way into the respect of the "good-ole-boys-network" on The Street. I have heard high praise from many Managing Directors about the quality of kids they are seeing come out AEM.</p>
<p>haha...thanks for the kind words T.</p>
<p>I do agree with your thoughts in the 2nd paragraph and I think AEM is an excellent program...I think what the adcom member told me just happened to the be the situation in the most recent application cycle. As the years progress the caliber of the program and the admitted students will only go up.</p>

<p>the best advice i have for those asking to see other people's stats is that you have to remember that Cornell seeks diversity...</p>
<p>ask your high school counselor for a high school profile and see what the STATS are for students in your high school...</p>
<p>a student from Exeter Academy would have much more impressive STATS than a student from Booker T High School...</p>
<p>but Cornell is not gonna compare a kid from booker t and a kid from exeter just on SATs or AP Scores...</p>
<p>Actually- I can see a connection between being an Ivy athlete and going into the business world.
An Ivy athlete really has to master time management skills, multi-tasking, risk taking and possess a certain amount of self-confidence that is needed both "on the court" and in business. I think those characteristics would be even more valued by business even if the kid got 1350 SAT instead of a 1400 +.
I have no clue whether AEM keeps a certain amount of spots open for athletes, but I can see a natural inclination of Ivy athletes going into the business world.
I would think it quite difficult but not impossible for an Ivy athlete to be able to major in engineering, the pre-med track or architecture. Therefore you may find more athletes going to AEM, ILR and other such majors.</p>
<p>1600/2350
**** Class rank (top 10% or so but not top 1% or some **** like that)
Out-of-state
And NO, im not an athlete</p>
<p>Just write good essays and have some good ECs</p>
<p>Just to clarify - I'm not an incoming Freshman. My stats were from 2 years ago, Regular Decision. I'm entering my Junior year. I'm also not an athlete ;).</p>
<p>I applied to Wharton ED and got rejected. Penn was the only school I applied to that rejected me, so I had a lot of great choices. I am so happy at Cornell and with the AEM program. As with any program, you can get away with the minimum requirements, but I am challenging myself with upper level math choices (because I enjoy it and think it will serve me well in the future) and upper level econ courses in CAS. I have had the time to get involved with my sorority and with EPE (Cornell's Entrepreneurship Program). My summer internships have been phenomenal... I'm living in NYC this summer with my friends and I'm enjoying the NY scene as well. </p>
<p>I still love Ithaca and I'm glad that I will have a few more years to enjoy the beauty of an amazing campus though - plenty of time for the city! </p>
<p>Initially I was upset about Wharton, but I have never looked back... Cornell has been an amazing experience for me - both socially and educationally.</p>
