<p>Wow I’m surprised so many people have little respect for AEM. Far from being one of the “less-selective programs at Cornell,” AEM is one of the harder programs to get into; last year, the acceptance rate was 16%. As far as comparing AEM to Marshall, the difference is not profound. Marshall will certainly win in the alum-network and if you want to work on the west coast, the choice is clear. However, Cornell AEM is quickly gaining prestige. In its first year (2003?) it was ranked #13 and this past year it was ranked #10 compared to Marshall, which is currently #19. </p>

<p>As one of the only 2 undergraduate business schools within the ivy league, AEM has nowhere to go but up. I am shocked at the amount of people saying that USC is the clear choice. There is obviously a bias here. :rolleyes:</p>
