For the application year 2024, State University of New York College at Cortland offered 1,804 students a spot on the wait list, with 87 ultimately accepting, resulting in an acceptance rate of 4.8%. Historical data indicates that prior years (2021 to 2023) do not have reported figures for wait list admissions; therefore, this 4.8% acceptance rate is notable as it stands alone in the available data. Given the size of the wait list, aspiring applicants should be aware that this reflects a highly competitive environment for those placed on the wait list.
