Cornell schools' varying acceptance rates?

I know Cornell has several different colleges under it, like CALS and the College of Engineering. How do the acceptance rates differ among the different colleges? Is it easier to get into some than others?

Acceptance rates can indeed vary among the different colleges within Cornell University, so it's true that it might be easier to get into some colleges over others. However, it's important to note that Cornell evaluates applicants based on their fit and interest in the specific college they're applying to, as well as their overall qualifications. So, while there may be differences in acceptance rates, it's crucial to apply to the college that aligns best with your academic and career goals rather than basing your decision on perceived selectivity.

While Cornell doesn’t officially publish acceptance rates for particular colleges, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), College of Engineering (CoE), and Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management are known to be on the more selective side. The College of Human Ecology (CHE), School of Hotel Administration (SHA), and Industrial and Labor Relations School (ILR), on the other hand, are known to have slightly less competitive admissions processes.

However, Cornell as a whole is a highly selective institution, so make sure you focus on presenting yourself in the best possible light, which means demonstrating the alignment between your interests and those of the college you’re applying to, rather than trying to game the system in any way.

Best of luck with your application to Cornell!
