Hey guys, I'm really interested in applying to Cornell University Early Decision. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for ED? Also, is there a difference in acceptance rates for in-state vs. out-of-state students for Cornell?
Hey! Cornell University typically has a higher acceptance rate for Early Decision (ED) applicants than for those who apply Regular Decision. In recent years, the ED acceptance rate has ranged from around 15% to 18%. Keep in mind that these numbers can fluctuate slightly from year to year.
Applying ED can provide a boost to your chances of getting accepted, but remember that it is a binding application, meaning you commit to attending if you're accepted. Make sure you're certain that Cornell is your top choice and that you can manage any potential financial implications before choosing to apply through the ED process. Best of luck!
