How are the students selected for PSP?
As admission officers read applications, they also consider students for the PSP. Every applicant considered for admission is considered for the PSP. Students are selected for many reasons but mostly to gain needed coursework or an introduction to the rigor and pace of the collegiate learning environment. More specifically, PSP selection is based on a thorough application review with consideration given to the strength and success of a student’s high school academic experience and test scores, the student’s intended course of study when compared with high school preparation, and the student’s personal background. Some students offered admission to Cornell Engineering will be required to attend PSP; others may be invited to participate in the program pending the determination of availability of space.
