Hello everyone! I'm super interested in Cornell's food science program but I'm having a hard time finding the acceptance rate specifically for food science. If anyone could share that info, I'd be so grateful. Thanks!
Hello! Unfortunately, Cornell University does not publicly release acceptance rates specific to individual programs like Food Science. However, I can provide you with some general information to give you a rough idea of your chances.
Cornell's overall acceptance rate in recent years has been around 7-9%. The Food Science program is part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), which typically has a slightly higher acceptance rate compared to the overall University acceptance rate.
Keep in mind that acceptance rates can vary from year to year, and the strength of your application will play a significant role in your chances of being admitted. To increase your chances, it's essential to have strong grades, relevant extracurriculars, compelling essays, and a demonstrated interest in food science and the broader CALS community.
While I can't provide you with an exact acceptance rate specifically for the Food Science program, hopefully, this information gives you a better sense of what to expect and how to approach your application. Good luck!
