<p>I am interested in using Cornell’s alternate choice program to apply to AEM as my first choice and ILR as my second choice as I can see myself at either school. However, I have read that it can lower your chances for both schools. Is there any truth to this?</p>
<p>The word is that it not many people get into their second choice option. That makes sense, as your second choice is many people’s first choice. Cornell admission is a lot about fit and desire to be there. The Hotel School’s program is a bit more like AEM, as it’s a business degree with a hospitality twist. ILR is completely different, although it is said it’s the easiest college to get in to. AEM is one of the most difficult.</p>
