<p>Hi. I've been hearing a lot of different acceptance rates for the Cornell College of Engineering. I'm asking here because I want the true stat. </p>
<p>Anyway, I need some advice. I'm not sure what I want my major to be so is it ok if I put "undeclared" on most of my applications? Will this hurt my chances? How will selecting a college on the application (like for example, the Cornell College of Engineering) be conducted if I put "undecided" for my major? Lets say I'm deciding between Engineering and Biology (two different colleges). If I put "undecided" will this solve the problem? I'd appreciate if everyone was specific in their answers.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>apply to CALS then transfer to engineering if you don't want to compete with few thousands of insane asians =P</p>
<p>LOL. I love you for your response. <3</p>
<p>That's what I was thinking of doing, but according to some people, the acceptance rate is HIGHER for the engineering school. Are they just telling me lies?</p>
<p>I read somewhere that the acceptance rate for the school of engineering is much higher- around 40%- because the applicants tend to be self selected. Meaning more average students might try for Cornell, but those who apply to the school of engineering have the credentials.</p>
<p>well, true, depends who you are, most people know for a fact that they have to be on a certain level for the #1 EE program in the country. However, if you take ur above average CC poster and put him through all the different Cornell schools... Engineering will be the hardest to get in.</p>
<p>Can anyone answer my question about applying undeclared? I honestly am not sure what I wish to major in. Therefore, I am considering putting Undecided or Undeclared. However, I am not sure if this will hurt my chances. Nor do I know how college selection works in this case.</p>
<p>apply to environmental Engineering at CALS, transfer in.</p>
<p>Undecided will hurt you a bit, Colleges want to see people who are determined to go a certain direction with their lives.
However, if you really can't decide, and you don't want to risk transfers, undecided won't be THAT bad. Though... if you're not sure... transferring is almost identical to being undecided.</p>
