Adult students and veterans don’t apply for undergraduate admission through a separate pathway at Cornell. Depending on their academic history, they follow the traditional pathway for first-year applicants (never matriculated at a college and earned fewer than 12 credits after high school) or apply as transfer applicants. We recognize, however, that adult applicants and veteran applicants may have special circumstances and questions about the process, so you are encouraged to reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected]. The Veterans at Cornell page may also be helpful.
