<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am considering applying to Cornell early decision this fall. I would like to know:</p>
<p>1.) I know Cornell's acceptance rate for ED is like 43%. But when talking indivudal colleges, what is the EARLY DECISION acceptance rate to the College of Arts and Sciences, and perhaps other colleges that allow me to do my pre-medicine requirements? And I would like to know Early Decision rates only.</p>
<p>2.) Also, there are those really high acceptance rates into the Ivies when you apply to a certain college at a certain time. For example, acceptance rate for WOMEN at the College of Engineering at Cornell is about 54%. I would imagine that ED, for women, it is perhaps near 70%. Simply because of the rarity of women in the engineering field. </p>
<p>--Thus my ultimate question is that, does anyone the individual EARLY DECISION acceptance rates of the colleges (i.e Arts and Sciences, Engineering) of other Ivy Leagues that have high ED acceptance rates?
(I would like to say that I am a male so engineering doesn't go to my benefit)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help. I just want to say that I want to optimize my chances at Early Decision. </p>
<p>For a quick glance at my academic stats, I have an SAT I of 1480 and SAT IIS of Math IIC - 800, IC- 760, Bio- 790, Physics- 790, Latin- 750, Writing- 640 and I am finishing with 7 AP classes - BIO, Chem, Phys B, BC Calc, AB Calc, Latin Vergil, and Eng Lang. In addition, I have great extra-curriculars which I do not feel like expounding and also solid grades with a solid average of about an 88 at a well distinguished boarding school at Deerfield Academy. At my school, around 33% of the graduating classes get accepted into ivy leagues although most are athletes, legacies, and URMS. However, my average is on target for some of the top universities. </p>
<p>Currently, although I had been accepted to several great colleges including JHU, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Bowdoin, and others, my luck did not fare out at Cornell, a school I truly want to attend beyond its academic caliber and name. </p>
<p>Currently, I am taking a year off/abroad. I had decided early during the summer before senior year that I would take a year off to go do research work and community service at a medical college in India. Thus, I probably will give my shot at applying Early decision this fall to one of the best colleges. </p>
<p>Once again, I really appreciate the help you provide in these forums. Just reading about the schools and about other people gives me an impression of where I stand and where I should aim for.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
