<p>Which ivy has the highest engineering acceptance rate?</p>

2

<p>Anyone have knowledge of this?</p>

<p>I think the acceptance rate at Cornell engineering is about 30%. Not sure about other schools. The acceptance rate doesn’t mean much. Do you want to get into the easiest Ivy engineering program? None of them are easy to get into.</p>

<p>Many of the Ivies do not have separate internal colleges so you don’t “apply to engineering” and as such there exists no data to disaggregate the qualifications.</p>

<p>gotcha,thanks.</p>

<p>but generally speaking, cornell is the easiest to get into among the ivys.</p>

<p>collegehelp, Cornell’s acceptance rate was 19% last year,not 30%. </p>

<p>Zala, unless you intend on majoring in Human Ecology, your observation is incorrect. There is no easiest Ivy to get into. Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn are roughly identical in terms of selectivity. </p>

<p>MichiganFall, generally, Cornell’s acceptance rate hovers in the 19%-22% range and Penn’s in the 16%-19% range. Those two ivies have the highest acceptance rates. But one must remember that Cornell and Penn (along with Columbia) admit students by college. Cornell and Columbia break down acceptance rates according to college, Penn does not. The CAS at Cornell admits 15%-17% of its applicants (similar to Brown and Dartmouth) where as the CoE at Cornell admits 22% of its applicants. The College of Human Ecology at Cornell admits close to 30% of applicants. At Columbia, the CAS admits 7% of its applicants whereas the COE admits 15% of applicants. </p>

<p>Dartmouth and Brown are next with 12%-16% acceptance rates, but they have centralized admissions and they offer majors purely in arts, sciences and Engineering.</p>

<p>HYP and Columbia all have acceptance rates in the 8%-11% range, but Columbia does not include applicants to the college of Nursing or General Studies in their admissions data.</p>

<p>For clarification, Brown’s overall acceptance rate was 11.2% last year and is likely to be below 10% this year.</p>

<p>Why do you want to go to an Ivy for engineering? Some Ivys have good engineering programs, but many of them aren’t any better than many state schools if you intend to stick with engineering as a profession.</p>
