When is the Cornell Early Decision deadline?
Cornell’s application deadline for Early Decision is November 1. That means by this date you need to have everything in: your Common App, Cornell Writing Supplement, recommendations, and transcripts. Hitting the deadline keeps you in the Early Decision pool and gives you the benefit of hearing back earlier.

r/Cornell on Reddit: ED/RD Admitted Students Megathread - 25/26 Cycle
December 18, 2025 -
Please place all admitted undergraduate student related posts here, in the form of comments, and current Cornell students will reply. Try to be detailed; if we don't have enough information, we can't help. If you are a prospective student, and have questions about life at Cornell, please post them in the Chance Me megathread, linked here!
Accepted student posts tend to fill up the subreddit once ED results are released. As this is a subreddit for current or former Cornell students/faculty/staff, any prefreshman posts placed elsewhere will be removed. This policy will be lifted on June 1st, 2026, to give current students visibility for their questions about classes, research, social events, careers, and graduation. Repeated submissions may result in a temporary ban.
If you are a current student, and think that you could offer advice to someone considering or committed to Cornell, feel free to respond to some of the posts! Please only respond if you are qualified to do so. We will be checking through these regularly for spam.

Exactly a year ago (okay 364 days but who’s counting) I was stress refreshing this page in the hours leading up to 7pm. A year later, I’m stressing too— for my last final of my first semester at Cornell, which coincidentally starts at 7 tonight. To those of you who get in tonight, a massive congratulations, you’re going to love it here, but to those of you who don’t, please remember it does not make you any less of a person. Have I loved my time here so far? Absolutely, but has it been perfect? Absolutely not. I know this might seem off coming from someone who’s “living the dream,” but my experience here has been far from that ideal dream I pictured it as when I read my acceptance letter for the first time. Not in a bad way, just different. I know friends from high school who are having way more fun than me at our local state school (and paying a hell of a lot less). I know you don’t believe it, because none of us did last year, but it really doesn’t matter where you go, it’s what you do when you get there. Good luck to you all, but most importantly take a deep breath. You’ll be fine.
