Does Columbia University accept more Undergraduate international students than Cornell University?
As an international student, where do I have more chances?
No. Columbia has ~1025 undergrads (excluding general studies) and Cornell has ~1700
But some websites say that Columbia is more popular with International students and constitutes more percentage of them and is placed 3rd in no. Of international students.
You have to get primary source material from the college’s websites like the common data set or press releases about the incoming class…many secondary source sites are wrong, some like IPEDS source primary data but it can be 1-2 years old. Neither school provides international acceptance rate data AFAIK.
