<p>which is the easiest and hardest school to get into at cornell (engineering vs. business, etc.)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>1) This thread just came up recently
2) It’s impossible to make blanket statements
3) That’s because it completely varies by students. An engineering nerd won’t get into Humec the same way a bio expert belongs in CALS or CAS not hotel</p>
<p>link, please?</p>
<p>and yes, it does make a huge difference ex. NYU Stienhardt vs. NYU Stern</p>
<p>What link do you seek? It’s well known that, so long as you meet the basic standards, Cornell’s colleges are about fit. If you’ve shown a lot of interest in a field, that is the easier school for you. The major schools (CAS and CALS) accept a little less than 1 in 5 applicants. AEM (in CALS) is significantly less.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>What do you mean by ‘easiest’? Least selective? If so, here are the stats for fall 2009 (pdf):</p>

<p>However, these stats can be misleading. The hotel school may seem ‘easy’ to get into, because they accepted 216/976 applicants (~22%), however it’s a very niche field and only those EXTREMELY SERIOUS about the hospitality industry will get in. Heck, someone who’s destined to be an engineer with 800-800-800 SAT’s would stand no chance at the hotel school if they had no experience or fit.</p>
<p>Bottom line: you stand the best shot (and admission will be ‘easiest’) at the college you’re best suited for (through the courses you’ve taken, extracurriculars, etc.). Applying to the seemingly easiest school will not, by any means, ensure your acceptance.</p>

<p>To go with that, adcoms are very able to cut through all of the junk in an application and can tell if you’re applying because the student thinks it will be “easier”. They don’t think highly of this.</p>
