<p>Which one of the 7 cornell colleges is the easiest to get in</p>
<p>ive heard its CAS but im not sure... i need some feedback</p>
<p>CAS and Engineering are the toughest. Human Ecology may be the easiest.</p>
<p>Well, the college of engineering typically has the highest acceptance rate, but the admitted students have the highest average scores. I would say that CAS is pretty hard. Human Ecology may very well be the easiest. I would say the Hotel school is also pretty easy, assuming you actually want to go into hotel administration (rather narrow field). The truth is though, I don't think the difference in difficulty of getting into the colleges is that great. Anyway, I want to leave you this from the Cornell Admissions FAQ:</p>
<p>Q: Which college at Cornell will offer me the best chance of admission?</p>
<p>A: That's not really an appropriate question. If you apply to a particular college solely on the basis of its acceptance rate, the chances are good that the selection process will work against you. It will be more difficult to show logical reasoning for making your application to a particular program or major. During selection, all seven undergraduate units carefully evaluate the "match" between an applicant's academic interests and the college to which he or she is applying. If you do not seem to be a good match for your chosen college, you risk being refused.</p>
<p>none are the easiest. The school with the highest acceptance rate also has the highest SAT average, and the school with the lowest acceptance rate has the lowest SAT average. Applying to a school because you think it will be easier to get into will work against you in the admissions process. They are very good at weeding out people who apply to a school just because they think it's easier to get into vs. another school. Your EC's, classes, work experience, essays, and recommendations will paint a very vivid picture of yourself for admissions to see ... it will be easy for them to see if you're really not interested in the major you've applied for and just want the prestige of a Cornell degree.</p>
<p>I would agree 100% with gomestar on this one, having somewhat made the mistake myself. I was looking to be biochemistry, which can be done in CAS or CALS, but everything else about CALS was probably wrong for me vs CAS, but applied to CALS anyway. I thought it would be easier to get in (although did it more because it would be cheaper) and ended up being wait-listed with the dean of CAS calling me 20 min after I opened the letter saying that if I had applied to CAS that I would have been accepted, but that OOS is almost impossible and CALS is 99% for NYS residents. I met a couple more people at Colgate later who had better stats than me, applied ED to CALS OOS and were flat out rejected.</p>
