Does anyone have information about the acceptance rate for Cornell's regular decision in 2025? I'm curious about my chances and how competitive it might be. Any data from recent years would help me gauge the situation better.
Unfortunately, official acceptance rate data for Cornell's regular decision process in 2025 is not available at this moment.
However, last year, for the class of 2024, Cornell had a total acceptance rate of about 7.9%. This figure includes both Early Decision and Regular Decision applicants. Given the increasing demand and selectivity seen across many top-tier schools, it's reasonable to anticipate a similar or potentially lower acceptance rate for the 2025 cycle.
Remember, while acceptance rates can give you an idea of the selectivity of the university, it's equally important to present a strong profile that aligns with the institution's values, course rigor, and extracurricular activities. Keep in mind the role of elements such as GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and your extracurricular involvement, and how you demonstrate your fit with Cornell in your essays.
