I'm thinking about applying to Cornell University and was wondering if they have rolling admissions. How does their admissions process work, and should I be aware of any key dates or timelines?
Cornell University does not offer rolling admissions. Instead, they have an Early Decision (ED) and Regular Decision (RD) admissions process.
If you apply under Early Decision, the application deadline is typically on November 1 of your senior year of high school. This is a binding agreement, which means if you are accepted, you are committed to attend Cornell. You should receive your admissions decision in mid-December.
If you apply under Regular Decision, the application deadline is usually January 2 of your senior year. Decisions for Regular Decision applicants are generally released by early April.
These timelines can fluctuate slightly from year to year, so it's important to verify the exact dates on the Cornell University admissions website for the year you're planning to apply. Double check all details and ensure you meet all the deadlines on time. Good luck with your application!
