CAS vs CALS acceptance rate

<p>Anyone know the acceptance rate for these two school for 2008 acceptance year?</p>

<p>Not exactly but I think CALS has a higher rate.
Try google.</p>

<p>Depends on what program in CALS - AEM is part of CALS and has a 10 or 11% admit rate.</p>

<p>CAS is about 18%, CALS is about 22%.</p>

<p>this is in reference to the biology major.</p>

<p>CALS is easier. 18% compared to ~23% + the SAT ranges for CALS are significantly lower.</p>

<p>do you mind posting the link to where you got those %'s?</p>

<p>and if you wouldn’t mind writing the ranges themselves, that would be great.</p>

<p>But, don’t forget that CALS tries to maintain it’s target % of New York residents. Thus, depending on the instate-OOS pool, your chances could be higher or lower.</p>

<p>those are the class of 2012 results. this year, CAS had a 16% admit rate i believe</p>

<p>^bluebayou…by target % of New York students, does that mean one is at an advantage if they are from NY or if they are out of state? I am from the midwest so would applying to CALS or ILR (both of which are affiliated with NY state) hurt my chances in anyway?</p>

<p>I have no idea on the % of apps who are instate vs. OOS. I was just raising the point that the numbers may not be what they seem, i.e., if CALS receives a lot more apps from OOS, and it wants to maintain ~50% residents, then the OOS acceptance rate would be lower than the average, while the instate would be higher. And, of course, vice versa.</p>

<p>where do they post the acceptance rates by major? i’ve heard AEM is really low even though CALS overall is high. How about PAM in HEc? Gov’t in CAS?</p>

<p>They announced today at convocation that the acceptance rate into CAS was 14.8% for this year.</p>

<p>oh, nice, i was there too, CornellDelight. What major are you in CAS? I’m a mathematics major.
Also, did you go to the other meeting in Bailley Hall? I was with my parents getting some last-minute stuff done, so i missed it.</p>
