<p>You really don’t need to be an AEM major to get into a business career through Cornell. I’m interning with Goldman Sachs this summer and there’s only 1 AEM major, 2 ILR majors, and then students from all the other different schools after in the Securities division.</p>
<p>Engineers really do have a harder time because they can’t get the GPAs to compete; I have one friend who was recruited for a back office spot and can’t get out because his GPA is just too low. AEM kids have higher GPAs but recruiters know that and they also want diversity so this could go against you because it’s harder to stand out.</p>
<p>Personally, I would pick the school that best suits your academic strengths. I’m strong with linguistics (reading, writing), but am horrible when it comes to math so I went with ILR.</p>
