Application Fee and Fee Waiver Requests
Cornell’s application fee is $70, and you are required to submit it with your
Common Application. Please note that Cornell cannot process your appli-
cation without the application fee or a fee waiver. Remember that if you
apply online, you must submit the application fee online. If you submit the
paper copy application, you must submit the application fee in the form of a
check, draft, or international money order (payable to Cornell University)
with your full name and date of birth written on your fee payment.
To apply for a fee waiver, please send us one of the following documents:
• a letter from your guidance counselor/college advisor, or representative
from a social service or community agency, stating that the fee would
cause financial hardship
• the NACAC fee waiver request form completed by your guidance coun-
selor/college advisor (online submission available at www.commonapp.
org)
•the College Board Request for Waiver of College Application Fee form
(obtainable from your guidance counselor/college advisor if you used SAT
Reasoning Test or Subject Test fee waivers)
If you cannot apply for a waiver by one of these methods, please contact the
Undergraduate Admissions Office at 607 255-5241. If you are submitting
your application on paper, your fee waiver request should be sent attached
to page AP-1 of the Common Application (pages AP-1 to AP-5). If you are
applying online, check the fee waiver box on the Common Application and
mail your fee waiver request to: Undergraduate Admissions Office, Cornell
University, P.O. Box 516, Ithaca, NY 14851-0516.
The Cornell University Supplement
This required form provides us with essential information about your aca-
demic interests. Admissions staff members at Cornell carefully read and
evaluate your response to the college interest essay. The information you
provide helps us determine how good a match exists between your intel-
lectual goals and the Cornell college(s) or school(s) to which you are apply-
ing. If you are planning to utilize the primary/alternate option, you must
complete a college interest essay for both your primary and alternate choice
colleges.
Supporting Application Materials
In addition to the Common Application and the Cornell Supplement,
you will be required to submit the following forms: the Secondary School
Report form (including your official secondary school transcript), two
Teacher Evaluation forms, and the Midyear Report form. These forms, and
in some cases your official secondary school transcript, can be submitted
online. Please encourage your guidance counselor and teachers to submit
these forms online where and when possible at www.commonapp.org.
Secondary School Report
Your counselor or designated school official should submit this form or
your school’s own report form on your behalf. Your secondary school
transcript should accompany the Secondary School Report or it can be
sent separately. We cannot review your application without both the
Secondary School Report and your official transcript.
Teacher Evaluations
Applicants to Cornell are required to submit two teacher recommen-
dations. Please be sure to remind individuals writing letters for you to
include your name and date of birth on all pages if they are sending them
by mail. You are encouraged to limit your letters of recommendation to
the two that are required.
Midyear Report
The Midyear Report should be submitted as soon after January 3 as possi-
ble. Cornell strongly encourages guidance counselors to utilize the online
submission of Midyear Report forms that is offered by the Common
Application. Sending your forms via the web will allow us to electroni-
cally load midyear grades into application files without opening mail or
scanning documents into our imaging system. This allows the reports to
reach the students' application file as many as three or four weeks sooner
than if they were submitted by mail. We understand that students whose
schools are on trimesters may not submit this form or have any new grade
information to report at the time of submission.
Standardized Testing Requirements
All applicants should submit either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT
with Writing. In addition, each undergraduate college/school has specific
requirements for the SAT Subject Tests (see requirements below). It is your
responsibility to make sure that you have taken the appropriate Subject
Tests and have the scores officially reported to Cornell from the testing
agency by the application deadline.
Please note that Cornell requires students to submit all scores from SAT
tests taken and does not participate in the College Board’s Score Choice.

English Proficiency Requirement
If you are an international applicant, and English isn’t your first language
(even if you have attended an English medium school), you will need
to demonstrate your English language competency by having your score
on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International
English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam sent to Cornell, as well as
by sending an English teacher recommendation.
TOEFL/IELTS Requirement
*International freshman applicants for whom English is not the first lan-
guage must submit a TOEFL or IELTS score.
The recommended minimum TOEFL and IELTS scores are as follows:
• TOEFL: 100 (Internet-based exam) and 600 (paper exam)
• IELTS: 7
Policy Exemptions
• We will waive the TOEFL and/or IELTS requirement for international
students who have achieved a score of at least 670 on the Critical
Reading section of the SAT exam.
• We also will waive the TOEFL and/or IELTS requirement for interna
tional students who have studied for at least four years in the United
States and other nations where English is an official language.
*Cornell defines international applicants as those who are not U.S. citizens
or U.S. permanent residents.
The Common Application Final Report Form
If you are admitted to Cornell and make the decision to enroll, you will be
required to submit the Final Report Form from the Common Application
and also have your school send us your final high school transcript.
Cornell Alumni Admission Ambassador Network (CAAAN)
Applicant Contact Meetings
Once we receive your Common Application and fee (or fee waiver
request), we will forward your name to the Cornell Alumni Admissions
Ambassadors Network (CAAAN) committee in your area, if one exists.
A member of that committee may then contact you to schedule a time to
meet or speak on the phone. This meeting is not an admission interview,
nor is it a requirement for admission; rather, it is an opportunity for you to
speak with a Cornell graduate and learn more about the university—and
for us to learn more about you.

your intention to apply to Cornell—at least one month.
• If mailing materials, pages can get separated, so include your full name
and date of birth on each page mailed.
• For groupings of multiple pages, please use paper clips (do not staple).

Primary/Alternate College Admission
Cornell University offers applicants for undergraduate admission the option
of applying to both a primary and an alternate choice college, recogniz-
ing that Cornell’s undergraduate colleges and schools offer a multitude of
distinctive academic programs, and that many applicants have diverse intel-
lectual interests that may be satisfied by more than one college or school.
Only exceptional candidates with a serious intellectual passion satisfied by
the alternate choice college or school will be considered. The decision to
consider an alternate choice application is at the discretion of the admis-
sion committee in the alternate choice college.
Primary/Alternate Admission Overview
Applicants for undergraduate admission will complete the Common
Application and the Cornell Supplement to the Common Application.
Both early and regular decision applicants are required to select a primary
college for admission and have the option of selecting an alternate choice
college. Applicants who choose this option will be required to write essays
and satisfy admission requirements for both the primary and alternate
choice college.
• It is the responsibility of the applicant to make arrangements to complete admis-
sion requirements, including any special requirements such as interviews and
portfolios.
• Applicants are not permitted to change the college(s) to which they have applied
after they have submitted the application. Requests to change colleges will not be
honored.
• Applicants who wish to apply to the same program in both a primary and alternate
choice college are required to submit admission essays for both colleges. In cases
where a program is offered in more than one college, we encourage applicants to
review the graduation requirements and programs available in each college to bet-
ter understand where their intellectual interests will be best served.
• Applications that include a primary and alternate choice college will be considered
sequentially; first by the primary college and then by the alternate choice college.
If an applicant is admitted by the primary college, the application will not be eli-
gible for review by the alternate choice college.
• Only exceptional candidates with a serious intellectual passion satisfied by the
alternate choice college or school will be considered for admission by the alter-
nate choice college. The decision to consider an alternate choice application is at
the discretion of the admission committee in the alternate choice college.
• Applicants will receive only one decision from Cornell University. Once a decision
is rendered by Cornell University, requests to be considered by additional colleges
and schools at Cornell will not be honored.
Questions?
Should you have questions, please contact the admissions office at
607 255-5241 or send e-mail to admissions@cornell.edu.
Frequently Asked Questions About Primary/Alternate Admission
General Questions
Am I required to designate a primary and alternate choice college? All
applicants are required to designate a primary college, and have the
option of designating an alternate choice college. Applicants are not
required to designate an alternate choice college.
Will applying to both a primary and an alternate choice college increase
my chances of being admitted to Cornell University? Admission to
Cornell University is competitive and highly selective. With more
than 30,000 applicants, admission will remain competitive regardless of
whether or not an applicant applies to an alternate choice college.
Will my primary college seriously consider my application if I apply
to an alternate choice college? Absolutely. We understand that some
intellectual interests can be satisfied by more than one undergraduate
program at Cornell.
Will my essays for both my primary and alternate choice colleges be read
by both colleges? It is possible that both colleges will review your pri-
mary and alternate choice college essays.
Which admission requirements must I satisfy if I apply to both a primary
and an alternate choice college? You must satisfy requirements for both
colleges.
Can I list the same college as my primary and alternate choice? No. If
you apply to an alternate choice college, this college must be different
from the college you selected as your primary choice.
If I apply to a primary and an alternate choice college, will I receive
decisions from both colleges? Applicants will receive only one deci-
sion from Cornell University. Once a decision is rendered by Cornell
University, requests to be considered by additional colleges and schools
at Cornell will not be honored.
If I am admitted to my alternate choice college, will I have the opportu-
nity to change colleges upon enrolling at Cornell? Transferring between
colleges is a possibility, but is not guaranteed. If you are admitted to your
alternate choice college and enroll at Cornell, you are making a commit-
ment to study in that college or school.
Questions from Early-Decision Applicants
If I am denied admission during early decision, can I reapply to an alter-
nate choice college during regular decision? No.
If I apply early decision and my decision is postponed until regular deci-
sion, will I have the opportunity to change my choice of colleges? No.
Applicants are not permitted to change the college(s) to which they
have applied after they have submitted the application. Requests to
change colleges will not be honored.
If I am admitted to my alternate choice college during early decision, is
it a binding commitment? Yes. The early decision binding commitment
applies to both the primary and alternate choice colleges you have des-
ignated.
Questions from Transfer Applicants
Is primary/alternate admission available for transfer applicants? A varia-
tion of primary/alternate admission is in place for transfer applicants.
Questions about Tuition and Financial Aid
Will I need to complete two financial aid applications? No. A single
application covers all colleges. You will be accepted to only one college,
and will receive only one financial aid decision based on the costs asso-
ciated with that college.
How will my financial aid eligibility be determined if the tuition fees at
my primary and alternate choice colleges differ? Cornell awards aid on
the basis of demonstrated need. The determination of need is based on
the cost of your college (tuition, fees, etc., and residency status) less your
family contribution (income, assets, family size, number of children in
college). Your family contribution remains constant regardless of the cost
of the college. If one college costs more than the other, then financial
need will increase. Cornell works to meet need with various financial-aid
resources such as loans, work, and grants.

Joint Statement for Candidates on Common Ivy
Group Admissions Procedure
The Ivy Group is an association of eight institutions of higher education, established
in1954 primarily for the purpose of fostering amateurism in athletics. Relations
between the member institutions have grown over the years, and representatives of
these institutions now meet regularly at a variety of levels to discuss topics which
range from the purely academic to the purely athletic and from fundamental educa-
tional philosophy to procedures in admissions.
Each member institution has its own identity and character and protects its right
to pursue its own educational objectives. Thus, although the Ivy Group institutions
are similar in many respects, each member institution will continue to make its own
independent admission decisions according to its own particular admissions policy.
In recent years, however, it has become clear that the transition between secondary
school and institutions of higher education has become increasingly complex and
that greater efforts should be made to simplify the process through more uniform
admissions procedures. It is our hope that by outlining carefully the procedures
under which we are operating and by clearly specifying the obligations of both the
applicant and the institution, we can help students pursue their college interests free
of unnecessary confusion and pressure.
I. General Procedures
All contacts with students by representatives of Ivy institutions are
intended to provide assistance and information and should be free of any
activity that applies undue pressure on the candidate. No information
referring to the admission or financial-aid status of an applicant to any Ivy
institution may be considered official unless it is received directly from that
institution’s admission or financial aid office.
Ivy institutions mail admission decision letters twice annually, in mid-
December and early April. Those who wish a decision in December must
apply by mid-November and complete their applications with supporting
materials shortly thereafter. A student may not file more than one Early
Decision application within the Ivy Group. Candidates in violation of this
principle will not be considered until the spring.
II. December Notification
Under December Notification, an applicant may be notified that he or
she has been granted or denied admission or that a final decision has been
deferred until the early April notification date. Two plans are offered
according to individual institutional policy:
a. The College Board-approved Early Decision Plan, which is offered by Brown,
Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania, requires a
prior commitment to matriculate. Financial aid awards for those qualifying for
financial assistance will normally be announced in full detail at the same time
as the admission decisions. An applicant receiving admission and an adequate
financial award under the Early Decision Plan will be required to accept that
offer of admission and withdraw all applications to other colleges or universities.
All Ivy institutions will honor any required commitment to matriculate which
has been made to another college under this plan.
b. An Early Action Plan is offered by Yale. This plan does not require a
commitment to matriculate, and students may apply to other colleges at
any time under those colleges’ regular admission programs (spring notifica-
tion of final admission decision) or Early Action (but not Early Decision)
programs. Those admitted candidates will also be able to secure an early
evaluation of eligibility prior to the announcement of financial aid awards
in mid-April. Students are urged to consult the admission literature avail-
able at each Ivy institution for details concerning its particular December
Notification Plan.
III. Early Evaluation Procedure
a. As determined by each institution, admissions offices may choose to
advise applicants of the probability of admission (e.g., likely, possible,
unlikely). Institutions may issue such probabilistic communications only in
writing, from the office of admission. Such letters will have the effect of let-
ters of admission, to be confirmed on the common notification date, subject
to revocation only on the same terms as letters of admission.
b. Within each institution’s overall admissions process, from October 1 through
March 15 an admissions office may issue probabilistic communications, in writ-
ing, to applicants who are recruited student-athletes. (Such communications
given by coaches, whether orally or in writing, do not constitute binding insti-
tutional commitments.) An applicant who receives one or more such written
communications and who has made a decision to matriculate at one institution
is encouraged (but not required) to notify all other institutions, and to with-
draw all other applications, as promptly as possible.
c. A coach may both inquire about a candidate's level of commitment to an
Ivy institution, or interest in attending that Ivy institution, and encourage
that interest. However, a candidate may not be required to make a matricu-
lation commitment, to withdraw other applications, or to refrain from visit-
ing another institution, as a condition for receiving a "likely" letter, or an
estimate of financial aid eligibility, or a coach’s support in the admissions
process. In addition, coaches may not request that candidates not share esti-
mates of financial aid eligibility with other schools.
d. An institution ordinarily may send a “likely” probabilistic communica-
tion letter to a candidate (whether or not the applicant is a recruited ath-
lete) only if the applicant has submitted all of the materials which the insti-
tution requires in order to make an admissions decision. Infrequently and
for compelling reasons, an institution may send such a “likely” communica-
tion that does not have “all” of those materials, as provided below, but only
if: (i) the other materials in the applicant’s file at that time provide the
institution with a clear basis for making a binding positive admissions deci-
sion about the applicant, consistent with the institution’s general standards
for making such decisions; and (ii) the material in question is submitted
before a final letter of admission is issued. In these circumstances, a “likely”
communication may be based on a file that includes an official application,
an official transcript, the SAT-I or ACT examination, one essay, and at
least one recommendation from the student’s school (either teacher recom-
mendation or administrator recommendation).
e. An Ivy school may respond at any time beginning October 1 should a
non-Ivy school offer admission to a recruited student-athlete with a reply
date prior to the common Ivy notification date.
IV. Common Notification Date
On a common date, usually in early April, applicants to the Ivy institutions will
be notified of admission decisions and financial aid awards, unless they have been
notified earlier under Early Decision Plan or Early Action Plan procedures*.
V. Financial Aid
All the Ivy institutions follow the common policy that any financial aid for
student-athletes will be awarded and renewed on the sole basis of economic
need with no differentiation in amount or in kind (e.g. packaging) based
on athletic ability or participation, provided that each school shall apply
its own standard of economic need. The official award of aid may only be
made at or subsequent to the time of admission.
Only the Office of Financial Aid has the authority to award financial aid
on behalf of the institution, and applicants should rely only on formal
communications from these offices. No suggestion that financial aid may
be available that comes from anyone else associated with the institution is
binding on the institution. No applicant should consider or accept an offer
of financial help from an alumnus, and any such offer should be reported
immediately to the Office of Financial Aid.
VI. Common Reply Date
Except for those applicants admitted under the College Board-approved
Early Decision Plan, which requires a prior commitment to matriculate,
no candidate admitted to any of the Ivy institutions will be required to
announce his or her decision to accept or decline an offer of admission
until the Common Reply Date of May 1. All such candidates may delay
their commitment to attend until May 1 without prejudice. By that date all
admitted candidates must affirm in writing their single choice.
The preceding paragraph does not preclude students from remaining on
active waiting lists and withdrawing promptly from their original college
choice upon receiving subsequent waiting list acceptance to another insti-
tution. However, the Ivy institutions reserve their right to rescind accep-
tance decisions from candidates who make commitments to and who hold
confirmed places at more than one institution concurrently. Students who
choose to remain on an active waiting list after May 1 will receive a final
response no later than July 1.
