Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions
Q: May I apply to more than one college at Cornell?
A: Cornell offers applicants for undergraduate admission the option of applying to a primary and an alternate-choice college, recognizing that Cornell's undergraduate colleges and schools offer a multitude of distinctive academic programs, and that many applicants have diverse intellectual interests that may be satisfied by more than one college or school. Applicants using the primary/alternate admission option must satisfy the application requirements for both colleges, including submitting a college interest essay for both colleges. Only exceptional candidates with a serious intellectual passion satisfied by the alternate college or school will be considered for admission by the alternate college.
