Admissions' Statistics

<p>If you are an international student who needs financial aid, i dont think cornell is the way to go. I dont mean to discourage you, but it is EXTREMELY hard to get aid for intels at cornell. This girl had 5 A's (Math Phy Chem Bio and Lit) and 2250 SAT I and 800,800,800 SAT II and didnt get aid (although she got admitted). Apply to other Colleges like the LACs, other Ivy leagues like dartmouth, princeton etc. Go the International student forum and do a search there. As for your A levels, getting AAB is very good, although not exactly amazing considering you need aid. But i think you have a high chance of getting good aid. As for your rank, I am sure they will put more weight on your grades, but try to explain your situation through euphemism! hehe . Hope this helps
Good luck.</p>

<p>anyone have information on the acceptance rate for human ecology ED? i can only find the overall rate</p>

<p>dk, we've all been asking for specific college early stats
i have learned by now - they are nowhere on the internet</p>

<p>If one's strength is math and science, should he go into arts and sciences or engineering?</p>

<p>If my SAT score combined is way above that of the range, but separately verbal is slightly low on the range, how will that affect my status?</p>

<p>Anyone know the average GPA/SAT/ACT scores for AEM Program (i know the admit rate is 16%)...</p>

<p>CALS is the only one where you apply to a specific major. The stats for CALS as a whole are available, but not by major. If anyone has seen them by major, let us know where</p>

<p>What is CALS acceptance rate for RD from 2006 applicants? Since I got deferred from my ED choice, Cornell is my 2nd pick and I hope like hell I can get in.</p>

<p>2006 ED results...acceptance rate 36% down from 39% from last year's</p>

<p>O cool, do u have a link to look at that stuff?</p>

<p>sorry, going to take this thread out of obscurity.</p>

<p>is it harder to get into CAS than it is for COE? i know that COE has a higher acceptance rate, but is it because the students who apply to COE are much better than those who apply to CAS? or is it simply because there are less who apply to COE, so people with lower scores can be accepted?</p>

<p>To get into any of the colleges you have to be a good match for that college.
A good match for the engineering college may or may not be as good a match for CAS, and vica versa. Engineering admissions is somewhat more [esp math & science]stats driven, CAS will give substantial weight to the touchy-feely/ squishy aspects of the application.</p>

<p>If you are a budding Novelist with extraordinary accomplishments in the Humanities but no great affinity or activities related to math/science, it will be easier to get into CAS.</p>

<p>If you are the school science and tech fair winner, with lots of science courses but relatively light extracurricular achievements in other areas vs. other CAS candidates, it will likely be easier to get into COE.</p>

<p>Then there is a middle ground where there is substantial overlap. In that group, given the applicant numbers and the greater weighting given to the squishy aspects, IMO CAS admission would be less predictable.</p>

<p>But the only people this should matter to are budding physics majors, who can decide to do physics in CAS or engineering physics in COE. Other than that, we are talking about different course requirements, different majors, different courses altogether. It doesn’t matter which is easier if the easier one does not offer the program of studies you want to undertake.</p>

<p>Here is all of the admission stats from this past falls freshman class:</p>

<p>…however as Monydad says Cornell is more about “fit” than almost any of the top colleges.</p>

<p>I didn’t say exactly that, actually, I think selective individual colleges of any multi-college university would be similarly about fit.</p>

<p>sorry…the “most top colleges” part was mine based on reading the other Ivy forums…talk about “fit” at Cornell seems more prevelant</p>

<p>Women Engineers are being coveted by most schools…</p>

<p>The Architecture department accepts around 55 students. I hear that’s around 7%. Does anybody have an idea what the percentage is for just Early Decision applicants to Architecture?</p>

<p>most definitely higher.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Albany requires CU enroll a set % of NYS residents in the contract colleges? Is info about admit/yield rates available by in-state v. out-of-state for the HE, ILR, and CALS?</p>

<p>I believe there is no required %.
But since NYS residents get reduced tuition,
it is natural that more of them apply (and get accepted) thus representing a larger portion of the class.</p>
