<p>Hi I am a freshman at NYU (not stern), and I am looking to apply to Cornell's AEM program in CALS for Fall 2013. I am expecting about a 3.7 GPA or higher this semester and hopefully higher next semester with standard GE classes like diversity, writing, etc. I have all the requirements fulfilled through either AP or classes at NYU. But unfortunately my high school GPA was pretty bad for cornell's standard ~3.4. What do you think about my chances of getting in and how closely do they look at high school grades?</p>
<p>Also, what are the acceptance rates for AEM and CALS? Are they closely related because AEM's website says I need to apply to CALS? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
