<p>no. cornell is not that easy to get into. it is a very holistic approach and therefore many kids who seem to be perfect for cornell- are not accepted. you should search for the ED and RD cornell 2011 thread to get an idea of the types of kids that were NOT accepted.</p>

<p>overall, the entire college accepted about 20.5% of applicants this year. however, two things to consider: first, that this acceptance rate will only go down next year (this year it went down from 24%); and second, that this number reflects the <em>average</em> acceptance rate of all seven colleges. Arts & Sciences, for example, is highly competitive; its acceptance rate, at about 12%, is lower than the general "Cornell" acceptance percentage. I think architecture is the most competitive college, but I'm not sure. None of Cornell's colleges are "easy" to get into -- 20.5% is thoroughly respectable -- but some are less selective than others.</p>
<p>hope that helps.</p>
