Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions
Q: Which college at Cornell will offer me the best chance of admission?
A: That's not really an appropriate question. If you apply to a particular college solely on the basis of its acceptance rate, the chances are good that the selection process will work against you. It will be more difficult to show logical reasoning for making your application to a particular program or major. During selection, all seven undergraduate units carefully evaluate the "match" between an applicant's academic interests and the college(s) to which he or she is applying. If you do not seem to be a good match for your chosen college(s), you risk being refused.
