This year, Cornell admitted 5,836 applicants from a pool of 67,000 to the Class of 2025. Cornell did not release the statistics of its Early Decision round. In previous years, Cornell received 51,500 applications for admission to the Class of 2024 and 49,118 applications for the Class of 2023.
The acceptance rate at Cornell University is 10.9% only. This makes the school a highly selective institution. It isn’t surprising since it’s an Ivy League school. To gain admission into Cornell, applicants need to have high GPAs and a history of taking challenging college-level classes.
