<p>The above info does not provide the ED acceptance rate for Engineering. I have not seen it in print, but perhaps someone heard it discussed at a new parent orientation session?</p>
<p>The overall acceptance rate for males in Engineering for the class that started this fall was 9.2% and 24% for females, but that still is not what you are asking. </p>
<p>Guessing the ED admit rate for Cornell Engineering is likely 25-30%. The 2013-2014 Common Data Set for Cornell overall lists 1247 accepted out of 4203 that applied ED. So that’s a ~30% ED admit rate for the university as a whole. <a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000554.pdf”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000554.pdf</a> At an Engineering Information Session they mentioned admitting 38% of the class of 2018 ED last year, about 280 students. (They say they don’t have a target percentage, they base it on the strength of the applications. Also, FYI those profile stats in the thread above are for class of 2017 vs 2018.) They didn’t say how many had applied ED to engineering, and can’t find that stat. If similar in proportion to ultimate matriculation rate to engineering <a href=“http://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile2014-Freshmen.pdf”>http://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile2014-Freshmen.pdf</a> the stats would work out that engineering admitted 29% ED. But sounded like last year an unusually high number were admitted to engineering ED, so it may vary.</p>
