This data is for all undergrad colleges together. Stats for the individual colleges come out during the semester.</p>
<p>Do you know the most selective class before 2016?</p>
<p>It was the class of 2015.</p>
<p>And before that, the class of 2014.</p>
<p>Which class will surpass 2016’s selectivity? You guessed it: the class of 2017. That will be confirmed sometime in January 2013 when all the applications are totaled. Guess what? The rate will drop again to no one’s surprise.</p>
<p>This is a continuing trend with all the very selective schools. Not going to change course in the near term whatsoever. Congrats to all the inbound freshmen!</p>
<p>At this rate, we’re gonna have to start kicking people out next century</p>
<p>Cornell should really start to use the ED trick more. Columbia, Dartmouth, and Penn for example all enroll more than 40% of their class using ED.</p>
<p>Or they could just not admit New York farmers with 1550’s…</p>
<p>A New York farmer with a 1550/1600? Damn, they better get on that!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…Cornell’s Ag.dept. needs NY farms to cooperate with Cornell Cooperate Extension, so that is not going to happen.</p>
<p>Cornell’s yield was the highest it has been for at least 20 years, maybe ever. Also, applications have increased over 80% in the last 8 years.</p>
<p>Women comprise 52.7% of the Class of 2016, a record high for Cornell.</p>
<p>At the convocation for new CAS students, one of the speakers stated that the CAS overall admit rate was 14%, with 95% of the enrolled class in the top 10%. Re mathstarftw’s point, if CAS admitted the same % of the class ED as Penn, the admit rate would have fallen to 12%.</p>
<p>Is growing up on a farm in NY State a hook for CALS? I thought everyone needed a 3.8+2100 scores to have a shot at getting in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…if your family farm does business with Cornell Cooperative Extension it can be a huge hook! We’ve had those kids get in with less than 1200 SAT’s (M + CR) & class ranks around the 20th percentile.</p>
<p>Supposedly there is twice as many hispanics than African/Afric. Americans (12% hispanic to 6% Af/Af descent) but I don’t believe it. I’ve seen many African ethnic background students here but hardly any hispanics. I don’t mind how many of whichever ethnic groups there are, I just find it weird how they get these statistics because walking around campus, I don’t see the % adding up.</p>
<p>Collegecondor, I assume these statistics come from the admission applications of the enrolled class. Interestingly, 10% of the Class of 2016 is international, and 14% from the west.</p>
<p>is it hard to transfer to cornell after being rejected from the incoming class of 2016 as a hs senior?</p>
<p>Yes, if your grades and SAT and/or ACT scores played a significant role in your rejection, as those factors are still looked at for transfers.</p>
<p>It’s hard, period. Depending on the college in Cornell, very very few students may be accepted.</p>
<p>It’s hard to imagine how hard it would be to get in a good college in say, 30 years.</p>
