Important Note
Important Note about Early Decision
Your admission to Cornell University as an Early Decision candidate is binding. As part of the agreement, you must withdraw any applications you have filed at other colleges or universities. Cornell, as well as other colleges that participate in Early Decision, take this commitment very seriously. If we learn that you have not withdrawn your applications to other institutions, you will jeopardize those applications as well as your place at Cornell. If you have concerns about keeping your Early Decision commitment, please contact us immediately. If you applied for financial aid, you may be released from the Early Decision agreement if your personalized Cornell Estimated Aid does not make a Cornell education affordable for you and your family.
