If your application has been postponed, you can expect to receive an admission decision in late March, and you’re no longer subject to the Early Decision agreement. We encourage you to apply to additional colleges and universities.

We’re not able to estimate your chances for admission at this time. Please know there is sincere interest in continued review of your application, and we look forward to giving it full and thoughtful review during Regular Decision consideration.

If you have questions, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is available by email: [email protected].

Brooks School of Public Policy, or The College of Human Ecology you may submit a letter of continued interest via the "Optional Supplemental Materials" section of your Applicant Portal. Applicants to other colleges and schools should not submit a letter of continued interest.

Financial Aid

If you’re an international applicant applying for financial aid, you must submit financial aid materials by January 2.

If you’re a U.S. applicant applying for financial aid, we encourage you to submit financial aid materials by February 15. U.S. students include U.S. citizens, U.S. citizens with dual citizenship, and certain eligible non-citizens such as refugees or asylees. Undocumented students who attended and graduated from a U.S. high school, with or without DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status are considered eligible non-citizens for Cornell aid purposes but are not eligible for federal aid.
