<p>Which school at Cornell has the highest admit rate? I am an out of state student who is interested in studying law and philosophy. Many of the schools fit my interests but I am having difficulty deciding upon which one to apply to.</p>
<p>Thanks for you help!</p>
<p>Oh my God. Just LOOK IT UP. The statistics are NOT difficult to find; they're right on the class profile. </p>
<p>However, I will tell you that out of all the Ivy Leagues, Cornell is the most "fit" oriented, so if it doesn't seem logical that you're applying to a certain school (and almost all the schools make you write a "Why This School" essay on their supplements. Heck, CALS makes you write a "Why This MAJOR" essay, it's that "fit" specific.) and you're not some 2400-SAT/Intel-winning college superstar, then your odds aren't good. Apply to the school you WANT, not the school that lets the highest percentage of people in (which, by the way, happens to be the Engineering school. Which is about as not your interests as you can get.).</p>
<p>Thanks for your input. However, I have already looked up the statistics. I was simply wondering if there was any insider information available that was not on their official website. Frankly, I am insulted that you would assume I am unaware of the fact that Cornell is a highly selective university.</p>
<p>I think that you should look at your ECs, recomendations, etc. and then see which college best reflects those intrests.</p>

<p>karajanhra is right. The stats are all on the website. There is a breakdown of the the number of students applied and the number of students accepted. </p>
<p>Frankly, the college that has the highest acceptance rate is the one you love.

<p>If you DID look up the statistics, you should know that numerically, the college that has the highest acceptance rate overall is engineering. And you should, by logics, understand that engineering is very self-selective. If you're interested in law and philosophy and apply for engineering... I really don't think you're going to be accepted, unless you're interested in engineering, philosophy, and law, and have ECs in all fields.</p>
<p>I would def. apply to engineering. Highest admit rate, no doubt.</p>
<p>Um...CALS? I think you can go to a local community college and guarontee transfer in if maintianing like a 3.7 GPA at the community college....correct me if im wrong.</p>
<p>CALS is very fit-oriented and for that reason, can be difficult to gain acceptance. CALS also doesn't offer the fields the OP is interested in studying.</p>
<p>Rule34: To do that, you first have to GET the guranteed transfer offer, which CALS gives very few of and which requires being a very, very competitive (as in competitive enough to beat out everyone who's waitlisted and rejected) applicant.</p>
<p>Rule34 - you have a slight misunderstanding of the guaranteed transfer program.</p>
<p>CALS guarantees admission to students when they are still in high school at the same time they offer admissions/rejections to everyone else. The reason many of them go to community college the first year or two is because they were guaranteed admission BEFORE going to college, therefore it's not worth the money to go to an expensive school that might jeopardize their minimum statistic requirements if they know they are ultimately going to Cornell so they fulfill their credits at a cheap, easy school.</p>
<p>Not all do this, mind you. But that's where most of this community college - Cornell connection comes in.</p>
<p>OK thanks. Sry bout the mixup</p>
<p>EDIT: nvm im right CALS</a> Admissions: Transfer Agreements</p>
<p>Huh. I honestly never knew that. That actually explains a lot. I knew a few people who went to those local colleges and transferred in. I couldn't help but wonder how in the world they got through admissions. One guy in particular just had a big, blank dumb look on his face all the time and when he opened his mouth, it didn't improve. Now I know that there was no admissions to get through. </p>
<p>I actually admire Cornell for sticking to its land grant mission (I guess millions of dollars from the state helps). It does up the diversity factor, that's for sure. </p>
<p>Though, in my defense, there are a lot of guaranteed transfers who are accepted in the same competitive system that go to community colleges before accepting their transfer. So, I was at least part right, just talking about a different population.</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I am new to this so please excuse me if I am posting on the wrong thread.
I too, am having a hard time trying to decide which school I should apply to in Cornell.
I most likely want to do Engineering, but i have no ECs for that. The only things I have to offer are 2 AP courses in my senior year (which has yet to begin). One in Calculus (AB) and one in Physics B.
I do have a mentor who I work with at NYU, but that is on psychology.
I doubt that could help me.
I really am looking for the best way to get in right now. My SAT scores will definitly not help me as I only got a 1520. I did get a 670 on Math I, and i have yet to take any other subject tests.
I do community service as well, and have taught as an instructor in the local Tae Kwon Do school. I again see nothing that can help me too much there.
Recommendations can be great, as my teachers love me.
My cumulative avg is 95.66 (weighted) but unweighted is probably around 92 ish?
NOW, does this mean i should apply to the collge of Arts And Sci for psychology bc of my EC …? or what.
PLEASE HELP.
AND SOON, i will be an ED student</p>
<p>Please do not revive dead threads.</p>
<p>The endowed colleges do not offer this option and I’d be very, very, very surprised to see you get in because they do consider SAT scores in transfer admissions and I just don’t see you getting in via freshman admissions.</p>
<p>Also, yes, no necroposting.</p>
<p>Wait, so I can go to a community college and then be guaranteed a transfer to Cornell???</p>
.
PLEASE DONT REVIVE THIS THREAD. APPLY TO THE SCHOOL YOU THINK YOU’RE BEST FITTED BECAUSE THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY ONE YOU MAY GET INTO!!!THERE IS NO EASY SCHOOL TO GET INTO AT CORNELL! @mackhostage
