Cornerstone University Acceptance Rate & Admissions

At Cornerstone University, 77.8% of applicants were admitted in the reported cycle, meaning most applicants in that pool received an offer. The reported result sits above the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Applicants should use this rate to balance an application list with schools showing different admission outcomes. It summarizes a past applicant pool rather than forecasting an individual admission decision.

Cornerstone University serves an undergraduate body with a substantial transfer pathway alongside federal grant recipients. Pell Grant recipients account for 32.8% of undergraduates, and an estimated 30.7% of the undergraduate population entered as transfers or part-time students.

Undergraduate enrollment is 1,298, so the campus includes both students using Pell Grants and people continuing study begun at another institution. This composition describes who attends rather than any admission priority or an individual applicant’s prospects.

Students who persist at Cornerstone University see retention and completion figures that clear the comparison medians, although the Pell completion figure is lower than the overall result. Of full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year entrants, 78.3% return for their second year, compared with 74.2% at comparable institutions in the same type and size.

For the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year graduation rate is 61.9%, versus a peer median of 54.9%. The six-year completion rate for cohort members receiving Pell Grants is 40.3%, below the overall rate by 21.6 percentage points.

Enrolled students can expect above-peer retention and six-year completion figures, with a separate lower completion figure for Pell recipients.
