All applications are interactive and available on the Graduate School’s website.  In addition to the application form and Statement of Purpose, CEE requires a minimum of three letters of recommendation, transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate courses taken, GRE scores, and TOEFL scores for any applicant whose native language is not English. The Graduate School's minimum acceptable iBT scores are:                    Writing (20), Listening (15), Reading (20), Speaking (22).                                            No exceptions are granted.  Although a resume is not required, it is helpful.  If you have questions, please contact CEE’s Graduate Program Coordinator (cee_grad@cornell.edu).

For FALL admission completed applications, including all supporting materials, must be received by April 1 at the latest (applications will not be accepted after April 1), although it is very much to the applicant's advantage (especially international applicants) to apply earlier.  However, applications requesting financial aid in the Fall must be received no later than January 15.  For SPRING admission, the deadline for completed applications, including all supporting materials, is October 15.  Financial aid is rarely available in the Spring.  No separate application form is required to apply for financial aid; simply check the box on the application form that asks if you wish to be considered for merit-based aid.
