<p>@Ihatesat - are you going to apply to other schools before the financial aid letter comes?</p>
<p>calm down. the financial office will be back open on Jan 2. I applied ED got in, but I haven't received my financial award letter yet. The inancila office DID send me a letter saying that I would get a letter soon.</p>
<p>however, why would you apply to other schools if you got into Cornell ED? To me ED means that Cornell is your first choice and you would give up anywhere else to go there. Just be patient. If I don't receive anything by like the fifth of Jan I'll worry. You don't have to deposit till Jan 18th</p>
