<p>Hey im just wondering if any international students on CC this year actually received financial aid from Cornell. </p>
<p>Could you please list your stats, your country, and the amount received.</p>
<p>Nope here…</p>
<p>Man, do they seriously just give it out to 20 kids a year. ???</p>
<p>I am a Canadian and I am on financial aid. However, I entered Fall 2009, back when Mexicans and Canadians were need blind. Of course, the situation has changed now where all internationals are need aware.</p>
<p>I have known an international who actually received an aid (not Canadian). Canadians can apply aid every year (if I’m not mistaken) just like people who are US citizens/permanent residents.</p>
<p>mariambaby3,</p>
<p>Cornell is still need-blind. It’s just that the Mexican and Canadian fund has been opened up to all internationals, thus screwing over all but a few Mexicans/Canadians. I suspect that they wanted to offer aid to the very best of their international students instead of just the North Americans.</p>
<p>While I received an early write and am subsequently selected to be a Dean’s Scholar. I still receive no aid at all. Are you sure the aid is for top internationals? Anynne has tried to call the Admission Office to ask about this matter?</p>
<p>That’s just my assumption. I haven’t called. I’m a Canadian high school junior who won’t be applying to Cornell anymore due to the policy change (bad Cornell!).</p>
<p>Hey electronica, Im a Canadian High School Senior, Future Cornell Grad in 2014, i dont meet a lot of Canadian students. Are you from Ontario? or the GTA?</p>
<p>@Prospectus786: you WILL definitely meet them once you are on campus next year! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That seems silly considering Cornell’s historical ties to Canada. You don’t know what type of aid offer you will receive until you receive it.</p>
<p>nope. i live in america. and have for the past 9 years. and i still got nothing because they said i dont have ennough proof of my permanent residence… but georgetown thought my papers were enough and THEY’RE giving me FULL tuition. i hope cornell changes its mind, i really want to go there…</p>
<p>Yeah I am a Canadian accepted this year who is receiving no aid, unfortunately =/… probably gonna end up at UofT now, unless some canadian cornellians would like to go to the FA office and protest the combining of the international + mexican/canadian funds :P</p>
<p>its so stupid! cornell wont give me anything but Georgetown, Villanova, even NYU and others are giving me FULL TUITION. i wanna freaking go to cornell lol</p>
<p>@pakalypse…hey how much are they giving you in financial aid on an annual basis? </p>
<p>@madhukar…Have you tried appealing formally to Cornell?</p>
<p>I thought of appealing to Cornell too but after re-reading their email which says, “I should emphasize that all of our funds for Fall 2010 have been committed and we do not expect any additional funds to become available”, I assert myself not to bother anymore. Anyway I’m going to Williams this fall with almost full tuition granted so …</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s for international students. If you can prove to Cornell that you aren’t an international (by showing them documentation from other universities) you should be all set.</p>
<p>I think you misread my post. I, like most people here, am getting no aid =/</p>
<p>Cornell says that all of its funds are committed, but what if come May 1st some internationals who were accepted with financial aid choose to matriculate to a different school? That would free up funds, wouldn’t it? Unless all of the financial aid was given to Early Decision acceptees, which I don’t think would be the case.</p>
<p>Cayuga, i tried that. my father talked to them and they said they would get back to him. but they said no. But he only told them about the villanova aid offer because the others hadn’t gotten to me yet. Now i have the Georgetown aid offer and NYU aid offer and i emailed Cornell financial aid with that info but they haven’t yet replied. its been two days. should i resend the email? or are they really THAT busy? idk what to do, because i REALLLLY want to go to Cornell. I’m freaking out. (btw, the Villanova Gtown and NYU offers are the maximum amounts that those universities offer, so…)</p>
