Processing Time

Checklist update processing times vary with application volume. Near deadlines, submitted materials may take up to two weeks to appear as “received” in your applicant portal.

The School Report form should be completed by your high school counselor or school official and submitted with your high school transcript. The School Report must be sent using one of the following methods:

• (Preferred method) Through the Common Application recommender invitation tool under My Colleges > Cornell University > Recommenders and FERPA
• (Second preferred method) Via approved online document delivery services. Cornell University Undergraduate Admissions will accept School Reports sent via:
  • Parchment (including Naviance portals)
  • SCOIR
  • Slate.org
• (Alternate method) If the above methods are not available, applicants may have this submitted by printing the School Report form from their application account, providing it to their counselor or other appropriate school official to complete, and ensuring it is submitted by mail or by email (to applicant@cornell.edu)

Please use only one submission method. Do not send duplicate copies unless instructed to do so by an admissions representative.
