What is Cornell's acceptance rate?

<p>What is their overall acceptance rate and Mid 50% SAT?</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>you know, you could go to <a href="http://www.cornell.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.cornell.edu&lt;/a> and find it right there...</p>

<p>But why do that? ;)</p>

<p>Why should someone else do the leg work for you? The Princeton Review has all the info at <a href="http://www.review.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.review.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy giving others information. No big deal though.</p>

<p>If I knew I would tell you, but I don't
Acceptance rate is around 25%-30%, I think, but it varies for each major and each school</p>

<p>I've seen anywhere from like 29-33% in recent years...varies A LOT by college, though.</p>

<p>i think around 91.334%</p>

<p>Agriculture & Life Sciences:----Men 26.97%; Women 30.13%; Total 28.17%. </p>

<p>Architecture, Art & Planning:---Men 20.50%; Women 23.80%; Total 22.32%</p>

<p>Arts & Sciences:-----------------Men 26.48%; Women 25.53%; Total 25.46%</p>

<p>Engineering:---------------------Men 33.40%; Women 54.79%; Total 38%</p>

<p>Hotel Administration:------------Men 30.19%; Women 23%; Total 25.83%</p>

<p>Human Ecology:-----------------Men 31.8%; Women 36.23%; Total 35.13%</p>

<p>Industrial & Labor Relations:---Men 27.43%; Women 38.75%;Total 32.17% </p>

<p>Total University:----------------Men 28.92%; Women 30.03%; Total 29.44%</p>

<p>Reportedly, 41.7% of the 2,569 ED applicants were admitted. (Approx. 1,068 admits)</p>

<p>Last year, for the Class of 2008, 1,120 - or roughly 44% - of the 2,546 ED applicants were admitted.</p>

<p>It's about the same as Oxford (25%-30%), or Stanford engineering (grad). One thing you have to consider is that Cornell doesn't use the waitlist to artificially drop the admit-rate (they draw almost 0% from the waitlist), while MIT and others use the waitlist quite extensively. </p>

<p>If Cornell used the waitlist as many universities do, then admit rate would be around 15%-20%.</p>

<p>That is not always true. There can be large swings at Cornell with respect to waitlist use. Only 4 were taken from the WL last year, but 124 were taken the year before.</p>

<p>But Cornell also has quite a few guaranteed transfers....Not sure, but I think this may artificially lower the admit rate (unless these people are counted in the transfer statistics)...</p>

<p>The transfers are unrelated to the admit rate, and in any case involve primarily the land grant schools rather than the endowed schools such as A & S and Engineering.</p>

<p>Hellz yeah...A&S represent w/ the 25% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>In any case, waitlist or no, Cornell's admit rate is about the same as Oxfords or Stanford engineering(grad).</p>

<p>i cant believe cornell is still ivy level with such high acceptance rates!</p>
