<p>I am applying to chemical engineering as my second option but I am unsure. Truth is, I did not get a knack for business until my second semester junior year. I do know the alum personally but not too close of a family relationship. He’s worked with my parents a few times. If I apply to Cornell, I would only do so for AEM. As of now, I am guessing that my chances are too low for the program then. What do you think about NYU Stern? Should I early decision there?</p>
