<p>Is it liek other business programs, because all Im reading about is different agribusiness sectors. I want to do finance. would this be the school to go to or should I just apply to College of Arts and Sciences and do economics?</p>
<p>It is an accredited undergraduate business program, like UPenn Wharton. Like I said before, you will receive a more well rounded/comprehensive, and arguably, as an intellectual, a "better" education majoring in economics in CAS. If you just want to do business in college, then AEM or another business program is for you, but if you want to expand your mind with all forms of knowledge, then pick econ or whatever strikes your fancy in CAS.</p>
<p>AJKates will probably want to kill me now :( It sounds like i'm dissing AEM, but i'm not. It's a great program. It just wasn't for me.</p>
<p>lol, <em>shoots sparticus in the head</em></p>
<p>You can't go wrong either way. As an AEM major, if you are interested in finance (as I am) you should apply AEM. However, econ in arts isn't so bad. They are quite different though. If you want a more well-rounded arts education that includes a lot of english, foreign language, and history, plus a lot of econ and math, do Econ in CAS. If you want to focus almost entirely on business, or have interests in the sciences rather than english/history, then AEM is the way to go.</p>
<p>AJKates,
I was just accepted to AEM. I was wondering if there are classes you recommend. Any other advice/suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I'd recommend AEM 120 and 121 in the fall. Your first required AEM class is 220 and that's in the spring. 120 is taught my the 220 professor, so you'll get to know the teaching style. 120 is an elective called "Foundations in Entrepreneurship and Business" and is two credits. It requires no written work whatsoever except one project at the end, and the course is interesting. AEM 121 is simply amazing. It's only one credit, and is the Speaker Series corollary to 120. Every monday night, super-rich, successful entrepreneurs (all of whom make many millions) talk to you about their businesses, give you tips and advice, etc. The only out-of-class work is one 3 page essay due at the end of the semester. I highly recommend 121, even if you decide not to take 120. They are both good though, I'd recommend both of them. Three credits total, interesting material, easy A. I don't see how you could go wrong. Other than that, fulfill any of your writing seminar, science, math, history, economics requirements.</p>
<p>This semester I took AEM 120/121, Econ 101, Chem 207, and a FWS. Most frost take bio instead of chem, but I tested out. Also, some AEM majors take a calc if they don't have credit for it. If you have microeconomics credit, you can take Econ 313 (intermediate microeconomic theory) instead of 101 (introductory microeconomics).</p>
<p><em>Replaces head</em> do you think i was unfair? I mean, nobody really cares if one is an intellectual anymore, so why does it matter haha. but yeah, feel free to clarify anything that you feel i was unfairly biased on.</p>
<p>ajkates.... do you think business ec's are necessary to get into AEM?</p>
<p>if you are into finance, AEM is the way to go - all of the investment banks recruit from AEM - I was offered jobs at merrill lynch, jp morgan, deutsche and citigroup, I will be working as a Citigroup investment banker next year - if you have any questions let me know</p>
<p>sports684,
Did most people in AEM who wanted investmant banking jobs get them? Was anyone able to get trading jobs at investment banks?</p>
<p>sports: what about engineers? do they have strong placement into ibanking jobs as well?</p>
<p>is this bettter than stern at nyu?
moreover, i have my own business, and my ECS and everything else is good xcept 1200s sat scores...that might be a problem???</p>
<p>how does the HOTEL school compare?</p>
<p>hotel school is hospitality specific business. If you want to go into restaurant, club, hotel, cruise, resort, or hospital, then hotel is for you.</p>
<p>if you want investment banking..do not go to hotel school - they have a lot of troule compared to the AEM kids. Yes, sales and trading you are in great shape as well - all of the ibanks that come to AEM also recruit for sales and trading. Compared to NYU stern, the recruting is the same - we have the same banks come as stern and probably an equal number of spots - however, I do believe the caliber of Cornell student slightly surpasses that of a stern student, and from waht I have heard, most recruiters agree.</p>
<p>one more thing, no matter what school you go to whether its wharton or Cornell, its very difficult to get investment banking jobs at the top eight or nine banks unless you have a 3.75 or higher and/or incredible experience.</p>
<p>can u minor in a science if ur at aem?</p>
<p>yea i know AEM students that are premed</p>
<p>So if I place out of calculus, do I not have to take any other math classes other than statistic classes?</p>

<p>Yes, no other math besides one statistics class, which is AEM 210. If have have stat credit, you don't have to take that either.</p>

<p>I don't know about that</p>
<p>you can't tell me the kids at Stern are smarter than cornell AEM, maybe on par but certainly not smarter</p>
