<p>I'm also considering engineering schools for any other ivies. I've read a couple of other posts and found out that high admit rates for engineering(eg cornell) doesn't mean it's easier to get into by any means
I'm an asian female, if that matters.</p>
<p>Well Cornell has the best engineering program of any of the ivys. Speaking on the ease of entry I heard from an admission’s officer that Cornell Engineering’s goal for this year to get 50% female enrollment. Last year was the first year they accepted 50% females 50% males, this led to 40% female enrollment at the school itself, so to compensate they’re probably going to accept a lot of females this year. That extra bump may have only been for ED though, because Cornell can be certain of the EDers enrollment.</p>
