How hard is it to get in?
Does selectivity matter a whole lot? I'm not entirely sure how selective it is.
It places well, just not as well as Dyson or CAS Econ due to the fact that not as many kids in PAM want to go into IB or consulting - I know a lot of kids in PAM that want to go into public/econ policy instead. However of the kids that pursue IB and consulting, they do well for themselves. I mostly see PAM majors getting management consulting gigs at places like Parthenon-EY and Oliver Wyman.
Thanks for the reply! Do you know if minoring in business would increase one's chances of breaking into the finance field?
Pretty much what Otto said, almost everyone who is interested in business takes the business minor. Even some of my friends who are bio and planning on going to med school are doing the business minor because it's so popular. Just get a head start on finding solid internships and getting into a finance club. Finance clubs are pretty competitive at Cornell so getting in will help you break into finance or consulting.
Study what you are interested in. Cornell job recruiting isn't as polar as Wharton vs. Upenn CAS - You can get IB/Consulting from any school within the University. The AEM minor would be a good idea if you elect to choose the PAM major.
I feel like a PAM major is more flexible but AEM has more classes that sound interesting. Of course then there is also the career paths consideration... Did you go to Cornell?
