<p>“you will not be looked down upon if you go into AEM from companiies” - ummm obviously…its the #10 undergraduate business program in the country.</p>
<p>i wholeheartedly disagree with pretty much everything you said. in no way does hotel prepare you for business better than AEM. are you kidding? so you are saying that taking the required culinary courses and courses strictly about hotels and hotel management are going to prepare you better than ACTUAL business courses in AEM? give me a break.</p>
<p>on another note, where are you getting the statistic that hotel is “hooked up” at i banks? are you nuts? i mean yea a bunch of hotel kids do end up going into IB but in terms of recruiting, AEM and even ILR blow hotel out of the water. most banks have recruiting events on campus for AEM students and sometimes ILR. rarely will a non hotel related firm recruit directly out of the hotel school. i’m not taking anything away from the best hotel school in the entire world…but i think that someone in AEM should have a little more pride in their program when its one of the best around, regardless of its age.</p>
