High school and college transcripts must come directly from the student's school(s), whether digitally or via standard mail. In addition, enrolling students must have their final high school grades sent directly from their high school to Cornell before matriculating.
Please note that the Undergraduate Admissions Office at Cornell University conducts audits to verify the authenticity of final transcripts for a random sampling of entering first-year students.
Cornell students can choose from nearly 80 majors. Applicants seek admission to one of Cornell's undergraduate colleges or schools, which then becomes their academic home if they’re admitted. Depending on the Cornell college or school, applicants may be required to indicate an intended major on their application.
Cornell University does not accept the Coalition Application. Prospective students may use the Common Application to apply for admission.
Video interviews are required for individuals applying to our Architecture program located in our College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. More information about the submission process can be found by visiting the AAP website.
Personal interviews are not required, nor available, for admission to any of Cornell's other undergraduate level programs.
