<p>hey friends, I'm making a touch decision now and have 3 questions about Cornell</p>
<ol>
<li>am I allowed to double major at Cornell? specifically, 1 degree from AEM and another 1 from engineering? if not, how about 1 degree from AEM and another from CAS?</li>
</ol>
<p>2.I notice that the greek scene at cornell is pretty strong. what if I'm not really the greek type of person, will I get marginalized or be put in any kind of disadvantage (especially when it comes to finding an ibanking/consulting job)?</p>
<ol>
<li>can I get an engineering job relatively easily with a cornell engineering degree (assuming I work hard and present myself well in resumes & interviews, i.e. I'm talking about the brand name only)? cornell has perhaps the best engineering program among Ivies, but there are so many strong engineering schools out there. can a cornell degree automatically attract firms. and specifically, how is it compared to Berkeley engineering?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank people who respond in advance!! I really appreciate any input :)</p>
<h1>1 - you can do some research on Cornell’s website, but maybe some current students could help out.</h1>
<h1>2 - I think there are over 60% of students who are not involved with the Greek life, so you wouldn’t be marginalized. Cornell is very diverse, there is something for everyone. Both of my kids were (are) in a sorority. The older one very much enjoyed her experience. The younger one is more detached. She is involved with a lot of ECs on campus, so she has a lot of friends outside of her sorority. You may want to look into it. It is a good way to meet people and to network.</h1>
<h1>3 - I am at a start up tech up company. We recruit heavily at Cornell. Many CoE applicants have multiple offers and we need to put our best foot forward when it comes to Cornell. Cornell sponsors a lot of job fairs to attract top firms to the campus.</h1>
<p>@oldfort thank you very much 
what you’ve said is helpful and comforting</p>
<h1>1 - you can double major at Cornell, but you cannot have one major in CALS and the other in Engineering or CAS. unless you do something like a Dual Degree*, both of your majors must both be in the same college.</h1>

thank you! then I guess what I mean is Dual Degree :)</p>
<p>but according to the web site, I can only do dual degree with one degree being from CAS and another from engineering? guess I have to do more research to see whether the combination can be flexible.</p>
<p>anw thx for the link again! really useful :)</p>
<p>right. dual degree is definitely more demanding than your average double major, because you have to fulfill requirements in two colleges. it’s only available between CAS & engineering and CAS & AAP. you definitely cannot involve CALS.</p>
<p>CALS has Bio Engineering as a major.</p>
<p>@faustarp
thank you for clarifying that for me!</p>
<p>whoa that kinda pushes me away… 
making decision is really a torment</p>
<p>@CornellJunior
Thank you very much! for now I don’t think I’m that interested in bio engi. but who knows what I’ll be like in 2 years 
? anw thx!</p>
<p>There is a business minor for engineers.</p>

<p>@mdmomfromli thank you a lot!! I’ll look into it :)</p>
<p>Thank you for the helpful information.</p>
