<p>I think you'll get into Cornell but I do not know if the school gives financial aid to internationals.</p>

3

<p>id say 50-50</p>

4

<p>Some One Please</p>

5

<p>come to Cornell my Ethiopian friends need fellow Ethiopians. Do you live in America as an immigrant?</p>

6

<p>^No I live in Ethiopia.
I am worried about their financial aid.But i LOVE to join Cornell.</p>

7

<p>i think there's a good possibility that you'll be accepted (to answer your question about the benefits of being from ethiopia-i don't think it will be to your advantage, as that would qualify you as an international applicant...).</p>

8

<p>I think colleges are starting to look more towards native African Americans rather than African immigrants (which they have more than enough of). So, I'm not as optimistic as the others about your chances. Let's say 40%.</p>

9

<p>Your chances are only known to the people who will read your application not some kids on a website. Apply.</p>

<p>QFT. apply.</p>

11

<p>as an international applicant, I don't think you have a great chance. if you weren't international, you'd probably be more like 50-50.</p>

12

<p>As an international, Cornell doesn't have to be need-blind (i'm pretty sure this is the case), so that may hurt your chances. Otherwise, decent I guess.</p>

<p>is there any chance that you could take the ACT before Cornell makes a decision?</p>
