<p>I was thinking about applying as an external transfer to Cornell Engineering, but then I noticed that the Engineering school only accepts about 6% of the people who apply. Is it really that much harder than the other schools, or is the acceptance rate artificially low because of people applying without the proper background?</p>
<p>It could also be low because most people are trying to transfer out of engineering, not into it, ha.</p>
<p>Cornell’s engineering program is ranked in the top 10 in the nation, so yea, it’s really that hard.</p>
