<p>Is there a way to find out the average number of students Cornell accept each year according to majors? Or is it really all just random?</p>
<p>Well, at least in Arts and Sciences and Engineering, even though some students may indicate interest in a major on their application (although that is not required), there is no way to track that. Both colleges, especially Arts and Sciences, understand that there is a high likelihood that someone will change their mind between matriculation and declaring a major in sophomore/junior year.</p>
