<p>I think its odd that you didn't get deferred at Duke. Your stats are in line with many applicants who got deferred. Your chances at Cornell are as good as most applicants. I'd the odds between 35 - 50 Percent - its all a crap shot.</p>
<p>SAMMIE, "just got deferred from Duke Engineering".....that being said, Cornell Engineering is tougher to get into than Duke Engineering...but you still do stand a shot, NYYbaseball99.</p>
<p>well cornell's acceptance rate into engineeering in 2007 was about 37%, at duke it was about 28%, and dukes SAT range for engineering is 1450-1540, so idk if its harder to get into cornell or not</p>
<p>Cornell's engineering school is harder to get into because our applicants are the same as those who go for Stanford and MIT as well. The acceptance rate is misleading; the pool is actually very strong.</p>
