@gabrielmgea there is always a higher acceptance rate with ED because it is binding and should only be used if Cornell is your #1 school.
Are the average stats for AEM admits much higher than the other majors or is it a low acceptance rate because of its size? 7% is extremely selective…
Thanks @hungryandbored! My plan is to apply ED to AAP
Hey guys, I was just wondering how prestigious the Cornell engineering program compared to other schools? Also is t the admission pool harder for the engineering school?
Hello, how are you?
That is great that you want to study Psychology under CAS. What field do you plan on working in, once completing your education?
Thank you for your time!
Hello, how are you?
Wonderful, that you’re interested in the College of Engineering. What type of field do you plan on studying?
Thank you for your time!
Hello, how are you?
As @hungryandbored pointed out, indeed the rate of acceptance is higher for Early decision than regular decision. This is due to the stronger pool of applicants in Early Decision than Regular Decision, although both are equally competent individuals. According to Cornell’s admission statistics, the Early decision acceptance rate was over twenty-seven point two percent, while Regular decision acceptance hovered little less than twelve percent. The overall acceptance rate (accounting the two) was little under fifteen percent, meaning that admissions are highly selective.
To provide further detail… Here is the link to the admission counts, as provided by @blprof :

You can select the admission count by clicking under “Colleges” to “Arch, Art & Planning”:
You’re interested in Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP). There were a total of 991 applicants who applied to AAP, and 165 applicants were accepted admission to AAP. 112 of those 165 entered into AAP, which means the yield rate was 67.9 percent. Overall, the acceptance rate is 17 percent. Of course, the early decision rate should increase that acceptance rate even higher.
I wish you well with your studies and beyond!
Thank you for your time!
Hello, how are you?
To answer your question, although the AEM program boasts a mere 7 percent acceptance rate, it is not entirely impossible to gain acceptance. The reason for the low acceptance rate is that it is a recent program that is growing with applicants that surpass the number of spots available. However, there are other programs as selective as AEM.
To provide further information, here is the link to the official website for Cornell University’s CALS AEM Program:

You can direct to the top-left and click on the “Admissions” tab; here is the link for the admissions section:

I would pay attention to the second paragraph under “Are You a Good Candidate?” which it will tell you the five key factors to look for, that will help you with the admissions cycle. This is important, as if you follow the five key factors, then it will give you a distinct advantage in the admissions cycle. Thus, please focus your energy on assuring that you meet those five key factors.
If you need anything else, please let us know. I wish you well with your studies!
Thank you for your time!
Hello, how are you?
To answer your question, Cornell University’s Engineering program (CoE) is prestigious as it’s known not only nationally, but internationally as well. Among the Ivy League, Cornell surpasses all the other Ivy league schools in terms of it’s Engineering program. It is among the top ten for undergraduate studies, and top fifteen among graduate studies.
Thus, Cornell University will provide the appropriate resources to thrive under your Engineering discipline of study.
If you have any other questions, let us know.
Thank you for your time!
@weli58 I see myself as a guidance counselor… or a comedian.
Hello, how are you?
That’s wonderful, both career choices have positive outlooks, as they provide direction and wisdom!
I wish you well with your studies, career path, and beyond!
If you need anything, just let know.
Thank you for your time!
How impossible is it for an international to get into Cornell Engineering?
Hello! I’m going to be applying to Human Ecology ED as a Human Biology, Health, and Society major.
Hello, how are you?
One common misconception about applying to a selective private university is that international students have a lower chance of gaining admission. This is not the case for Cornell University, as International Students represent about one-fifth percent of the student body. Additionally, there is not separate requirements for international students versus domestic applicants (students in the U.S.), as both have identical requirements. Thus, the process if fair and justified for admission decisions.

This will answer any questions you have regarding the total admission process, pay close attention to the details.
Overall, these links should help you prepare for admissions, and it would be beneficial if you prepared now, so that you could have a leg up over the other applicants. The admissions are slowly becoming even more-and-more selective for all applicants regardless of background).

Hello. how are you?
That’s great you’re interested in the Human Biology, Health and Society (HBHS) major!
What track of study are you planning to do (e.g. Pre-medicine)? Additionally, what career path are you interested in following your studies?
If you have any questions, let know.
Thank you for your time!
@weli58 I’m leaning towards either the electrical computer engineering major or the computer science major in CoE but I’m not completely sure
Hello, how are you?
Those are very beneficial fields to enter in; I’m completely sure you will do great in any field (of Engineering) you choose!
Thank you for your time!
@weli58 Hello, it seems as if we have similar paths! I am also planning to be on the pre-med track in college. However, I’m not exactly sure what medical specialty I am going to pursue just yet.
Hello, how are you?
That’s very interesting observation indeed! I wish you well with your studies, and hope that you find the continued success in undergraduate, career path, and beyond!
If you have any questions, let know.
Thank you for your time!
Hi! This is my first post on this site…I’m going to be applying to CALS as a nutritional science major.
