Cornell has the top Ag school in the nation. I don't know how this might affect our ag econ, but it might explain the feeling I get talking to AEM (applied economics and management) students. From what I can gather, students in Cornell's ag econ program are accepted to traditional econ programs in the lower 20s on down, and are rejected from traditional econ programs from the lower 40s on up. So I'd say admissions wise, AEM is about the same as, say, a school ranked 35-45. On the other hand, an AEM student is ranked on some things differently than a pure econ (for instance, job expirience can help mor in applied, I think).
