cornell's organisational structure more resembles a state flagship than some of its ivy peers—that's not a dig at all or comment on the academic quality, but you have lots of different colleges, an agriculture school, etc. 3 of the schools are funded by the State of NY and NY students can get in-state tuition, the other cornell colleges are not.
Of them (hardest to easiest admit):
Hardest:
Dyson school of applied economics and management: hardest to get into, low single digits acceptance rate. This is located within college of agriculture and life sciences (CALS), which is NY state funded
Still hard, in no particular order:
College of Engineering
How about the vet school fool
College of Arts and Sciences
College of Architecture, Art and Planning
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (NY State funded)
Easier (to my knowledge and memory):
School of Hotel Administration
College of Human Ecology (state-funded): this includes the Jeb E Brooks school of public policy
*note, these differences in difficulty of admission are nominal, but the admit rates for the easier category might sit in the teens
But seriously, you have to do research on cornell, figure out what you want when you're applying and craft a narrative in your application to support that. Be strategic. It's not a Brown/LAC "major in anything you want" atmosphere.
