Which school is the hardest school within Cornell to receive admission from?
Dyson Scool of Applied Economics and Management. Acceptance rate is around 3%.
Percentage-wise Dyson, as mentioned above (although it’s only been considered its own separate college for a year). But really it depends on the student. A student with high math/science scores who entered engineering competitions and was in his school’s math club who then applies to the hotel school will have a much lower chance of getting accepted than if they applied to the engineering school, even though the overall acceptance rate for engineering is lower than hotel.
