I'm applying to Cornell University and am confused about when the regular decision is due and when they typically release decisions. Could anybody clarify or share their past experience?
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Cornell University's Regular Decision deadline is January 2. The online application (via the Common Application or Coalition Application) must be submitted by 11:59 PM of the applicant's local time on this date.
Decisions are typically released in late March. The exact date can vary slightly each year, but you can generally expect to hear back about your admission status around the last week of March.
Once admissions decisions are ready, Cornell will send an email to applicants notifying that there has been an update to their admissions portal. The decision can then be viewed by logging into the portal.
Remember to ensure all required parts of your application are completed and submitted by the due date. Good luck with your application!
