The Ivy League schools are some of the most selective colleges in the United States. Their acceptance rates are extremely low. If you’re planning to apply to any of the Ivy League schools, be realistic about your chances of being admitted.
Cornell University
Cornell has one of the top engineering schools and top hotel management programs in the country. Cornell University admissions may appear slightly less selective than the other Ivy League schools, but don’t be fooled. You’re still going to need an exceptional academic record, high standardized test scores, and impressive extracurricular activities to be admitted.
