<p>Still a decrease though.</p>
<p>whoa. that means they expect the overall yield to be around 44%. the original 21% admit rate was probably based on the assumption of a yield around 50%.</p>
<p>with that said, is cornell still the easiest ivy league to get into?</p>
<p>cornell architecture had a 12% accept rate this year</p>

<p>In terms of admit rate, yes. The next lowest was Penn: they had a 17.7% admit rate (compared to 21% the year before). Dartmouth comes in next with a 15.4% admit rate. Then it's Brown with 13.8%. The top four Ivies in terms of lowest admit rate are: Yale (8.6%) > Harvard (9.3%) > Columbia (9.6%) > Princeton (10.2%).</p>
<p>Columbia's 9.6% admit rate says "Columbia College." Does that mean they are not including SEAS or GS admit rates in that number?</p>
<p>Edited: More accurate figures.</p>
<p>rccys - technically, but one must remember that all ivies look for different things.</p>
<p>cornell is the largest ivy so the numbers will be bigger</p>
<p>Using Columbia's 9.6% isn't fair. When SEAS is accounted for (GS isn't relevant), its more like 12-13%.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. I didn't know penn was easier to get into than dartmouth and brown.</p>
<p>I believe that the 21% figure was accurate for the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell, but I could be wrong.<br>
A figure of 21% is very exclusive--- meaning that four out of five highly qualified applicants are rejected. Also, as a university, Cornell is ranked higher than Brown according to US News and World Report, although its admit rate is also higher than Brown's.</p>
<p>An admit rate of 21% for CAS would be very high . . .
Last year, when the overall acceptance rate was 27%, CAS' acceptance rate was 19%
With the overall acceptance rate of 25% this year, CAS should be hovering around 16-17%</p>
<p>Hi:
Here's the definitive source stats on admission into Cornell's College of Arts and Sciences-- check my math:</p>
<p>Unless my math is wrong, the admit rate for College of Arts and Sciences last year, 2005, was 2,687 students admitted /divided by 12,357 applications received, or 21.7 % of applicants admitted-- roughly one in five.</p>
<p>This year, 12,000 applications were received. Assuming that 2500 were admitted (an average of the three previous years), the admit rate is roughly 20.8 percent.</p>
<p>The size of the freshman class in the college of arts and sciences remains roughly steady at 1,000, with 50-50 men/women. Nice!</p>
<p>Finally, a VERY important stat that I have left out when it comes to women:
the men of Cornell are ranked the most attractive in the Ivy League....</p>
<p>the CAS admit rate was 21.7% last year (2687/12357 admits/apps):
<a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm%5B/url%5D">http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm</a></p>
<p>They have about the same # of apps this year:
<a href="http://ivysuccess.com/cornell_2010.html%5B/url%5D">http://ivysuccess.com/cornell_2010.html</a></p>
<p>CAS yield is usually about 40% -- lower than the overall university average (which is usually about 50%). It looks like the overall university yield this year dropped to 44% (~3050 spots/6927 admits). No data yet on the CAS yield or admit rate. I am guessing the yield will probably stay about the same and CAS will have an admit rate of 22% again. (just a guess)</p>
