<p>Cornell University, another Ivy, admitted 20.5 percent of 30,383 applicants, a record for the school, down from 24.7 percent a year earlier. The Ithaca, New York school has had a 24 percent increase in applications over the past two years. </p>
<p>Uh-ohh. I wonder how low it'll drop come next admissions cycle. Good thing I'll probably ED, but that won't even help a significant amount.</p>
<p>so i heard this year in architecture, 1 student was admitted for every 17 applicants! yikes....</p>
<p>wow i really hope those numbers don't affect transfer admissions.</p>
<p>Did any other IVY have more applications to consider?</p>
<p>30,383 applicants??? that's ridiculous...</p>
<p>maybe by next year, every ivy league school will be under 20%, but that's nothing to hope for...not that it mattes to me anyway</p>
<p>Most Ivies had an increase in applications. I know Penn did since it switched to the common app.</p>
<p>The number of U.S. 18-year olds, offspring of the baby boomers, will peak in 2009. Assuming a constant percentage wishes to attend fine universities, Cornell should experience a corresponding peak in applications that year. After that, the number of 18-year olds will begin to decline.</p>
<p>wow, college app gets scarier by year.</p>
<p>does anyone know what's the acceptance rate for college of art and science??
I read on wikipedia that it was 14% while over all for Cornell was 24%</p>
<p>I think the over-admittance the year before also affected this year's rate since they were over-enrolled by 200+ people last year.</p>
<p>do those numbers include GTs?</p>
<p>so are the individual college acceptance rates out yet? Im curious if that 1/17 accepted for architecture is actually accurate.</p>
<p>No GTs aren't technically "acceptances"</p>
<p>That's GREAT! I predicted 21% lol...pretty close. We r definitely going under 20% next year! I hope we keep going down even after the peak! I feel like saying "Great job guys!" but that is ridiculous. But I still posted it ;)</p>
