Hey everyone! I've been eyeing SUNY Cortland as one of my options. Does anybody know what their acceptance rate is? Just want to get a feel of how competitive admission is. Thanks in advance!
Hello! As of the most recent data, SUNY Cortland has an acceptance rate of about 60%. That means for every 100 students who apply, approximately 60 are accepted. However, keep in mind that acceptance rates can be a bit misleading. The strength of your application - including your grades, rigor of coursework, and extracurricular involvement - plays a major role in your chances of being accepted.
While it's not exceptionally competitive, it's also not a school where admission is guaranteed, so it's important to ensure you have a balanced list of reach, match, and safety schools based on your application profile. Best of luck!
