Finally someone answers...

Yes I have completed all the prerequisites.

My test scores are simply not that competitive...from what I heard the test scores are not the deal breaker since they don't make them mandatory.

And yeah I have a few back ups.

Me too, Fall 2013 (Transfer)

Me too,

Current School: Pace University - 3.61 / 4.00
HS: 85/100 (AEM doesnt require SAT scores)
Live: Jamaica, Queens NY (and minority if that makes a difference)

- Transferring to a CC (Manhattan) listed on Cornell's website for the "Transfer Agreement" credits. ****I have 75 credits now, If I transfer to a CC and get rejected by Cornell, countless credits get lost and/or I'm stuck in a CC... Cornell only accepts 60, I'm fine with that.

- I will have ALL required and suggested courses
(i.e. full year of bio, chem, stats, writing x2, public speaking, etc..)

-Investment Banking and Private Equity Internship, Equity Research Team Competition sponsered by CFA, Training the street and Wall street prep courses, etc..
--College Football AND Lacrosse at current school
- Between weekend job, full-time IB internship, and school: 81 hours per week-Transferring in as as a Junior - CALS (AEM)

Thank you in advance for your opinions on my chances.


Also if I had to choose recomendations to ask for and send:
a) Valuation of a Firm Professor
b) Principles of Investment Professor
c) Banker at my internship who received MBA from Cornell's Johnson School of Business (Dont think its connected to AEM)
d) Partner of Private Equity Fund where I interned
e) All of the above

The ib internship between your job that is 81 hours a week? Full time bankers work that much!! So that is not really believable...

Ib internship: 38/week (mon-fri)
School: 5 classes (4 night, 1 online)
Work: Park Avenue Doorman overnight shift (8 hours) x 3 days (Fri night, sat and sunday day or night)

I didnt say it was "banker full-time", for regular people 40 hours is the usual full-time mark.

Crazy couple of months so far, hopefully it preps me for the long hours of banking.

@unibames, I liked your post. I noticed you did not mention anything about my accounting internship, just the ib one. Is an accounting internship looked down upon?

As far as what you said about sustainability, yeah I incorporated somewhat the mission statement. And in my essay I made it seem like I would specialize in entrepreneurship and applied economics, so I'm not sure if that is unique. I'm really excited for decisions!
