<p>The net calc is too complicated, i don't have access to a lot of info yet
So I was wondering, how much would i be expected to pay if i apply ED to a cornell non-state school?
family income is 30k, one sibling in college, no assets </p>
<p>I know nothing about Cornell’s financial system, but since Ivy Leagues claim to meet 100% of demonstrated need, I can’t imagine your acceptance would come with anything less than a full ride considering how low your income is. I know that Harvard grants no tuition for incomes less than 60k, and though Cornell is considerably less well-endowed you’re way below that threshold. Granted there’s other factors such as investments, the price of your home, etc. But I would recommend applying to a lot of schools with good aid programs; surely someone will be able to give you an offer you can afford. </p>
<p>My family makes about 60K and I only pay 5k a year. Yours should be less than that, assuming you don’t have a crazy savings account from anything. I’m paying less at Cornell than I would’ve at my state school.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>My family’s income was roughly $70,000 last year and I only had to come up with $5000 out of pocket (granted, for in-state tuition). You should definitely be close to a full ride. I believe that cornell matches the aid of other ivy schools as well as schools like MIT, so if you get into say Brown and they give you a better aid package cornell will adjust theirs. </p>
<p>If your family makes less than 50k, you go full ride</p>
<p>OP will get full ride. The tricky part is getting accepted. Best of luck.</p>
<p>thanks everyone. </p>
