Admissions percentage: accepted/enrolled

<p>Hey guys, I had a quick question regarding acceptance/enrollment rates at Cornell. </p>

<p>18% of applicants enrolled at Cornell in 2010; what percentage was accepted?</p>

<p>24.7% overall, but it varies depending on the school.</p>

<p>24.7% is NOT the acceptance rate. [University</a> Admit Rate Drops to 18 Percent | The Cornell Daily Sun](<a href=“http://www.cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/04/01/university-admit-rate-drops-18-percent]University”>http://www.cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/04/01/university-admit-rate-drops-18-percent)</p>

<p>CAS is around 15-16.</p>

<p>I didn’t search that closely and picked the first site I found, so I could be wrong. [Cornell</a> Admission 2010](<a href=“http://ivysuccess.com/cornell_2010.html]Cornell”>http://ivysuccess.com/cornell_2010.html)</p>

<p>But 18% would mean that virtually everyone who was admitted also enrolled, which would be nearly impossible. Unless OP meant acceptance rate instead of enrollment rate?</p>

<p>Haha, that was my question: is 18% the admission rate or the enrollment rate, and if it is one of those, then what is the other.</p>

<p>Upon browsing their website, I found this: <a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000002.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000002.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Last year, the acceptance rate was 18.36% and the enrollment rate was 8.8%.</p>

<p>This is the page you want to look at. The numbers you posted were outdated.</p>

<p>The yield at Cornell is ~50%</p>

<p>Ah, right, guess I should read more closely then. Thanks for pointing it out.</p>
