<p>If you are not a fit for a certain college you will not get in; therefore, it is hard to have a list for the difficulty of admission. For example, an engineer would have trouble getting into Hotel.</p>
<p>For CALS, what kind of applicant would be a “fit”? It seems like it would be anyone science-oriented, which has close ties to math.</p>
<p>I’m not an expert or anything, but part of “fit” is having an interest in your intended major or a passion of some sort.</p>
<p>no fit = no acceptance. a lesson many of my friends (who have top stats) learned this year</p>
<p>I think the original poster is talking in terms of students fit for each college.</p>
<p>Ex. how prospective engineering students fare in CoE admissions compared to prospective science/medicine students fare in CAS admissions.</p>
<p>COE = best applicants, best stats, 800 in SAT Math II is nothing spectacular
AAP, ILR, CHE, SHA = fit fit fit fit fit
CALS & CAS = more generic admission process. stats, ECs, reference letters…the typical stuff</p>
<p>^ Uh…</p>

<p>cornell university?</p>
<p>every school at cornell is difficult to get into. there is no “easy” way into the school. the admissions officers look at each applicant as a whole, not necessarily focusing on just gpa and test scores. like what a lot of posters here, as well as in a lot of other topics in the cornell thread, fit is important…meaning, this person is really artistic and they have a great portfolio. would they succeed well at AAP? yes. FIT</p>
<p>The different colleges at the University of Cornell have vastly different criteria in terms of what they’re looking for (with some being more stats focused and some being more essay/fit/passion-focused). Did you have a subject in mind that you wanted to major in at the University of Cornell?</p>
<p>“I think the original poster is talking in terms of students fit for each college.”</p>
<p>Then I doubt anyone here can really shed much light on the question. There is no published data showing admissions results for the subset of applicants to each college there that were actually deemed to be a good fit for that college.</p>
<p>All we have are the total results for each college, which undoubtedly include the results for applicants who were not, as it turns out, assessed to be such a good fit. I’m sure in many cases that’s precisely why applicants were rejected.</p>
<p>if you want the gross conventially-cited numbers, they are here:
<a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000003.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000003.pdf</a>
<a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000176.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000176.pdf</a>
<a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000177.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000177.pdf</a></p>
<p>But as others have pointed out, these do not tell the whole story since other criteria relating to fit that are not captured in these statistics may nevertheless be quite important. For several of these colleges particularly,ok pretty much all of them really, it is likely that admissions odds cannot be completely segregated from the degree that you fit.</p>
<p>I’d also like to point out that pure statistical data (number of admits, scores, acceptance rates) are not accurate measures of how “hard” it is to get into that school. </p>
<p>For example, CoE has a VERY self-selective pool (in comparison to say, CAS). Anyone who wants to apply to an “Ivy League school” can take their shot at CAS (or any other non-specific program at any Ivy), whereas students who apply to CoE often have very competitive scores/abilities/resumes. Therefore, a higher acceptance rate in the CoE can be quite misleading. </p>
<p>In the same way, ILR places a huge importance on leadership and analytical skills. Simply put, if you’ve shown you can’t read comprehensively, you won’t survive 4 years in ILR. As my friend in my colloquium put it: “ILR stands for ‘I loved reading’”. Their stress on leadership can often be reflected by the large number of leadership positions around campus occupied by ILRies, despite ILR students making up rougly 6% of the student undergraduate population at Cornell. </p>
<p>I find it very hard to rate how hard it is for a “good candidate” at each school to get into the respective school. In general there is no positive use of this answer; I expect very few students have the capabilities to be considered a “good fit” at every school at Cornell, and even if you are, you should apply to the one that appeals to you most, not the one that you feel gives you the best chance of admission.</p>
