<p>IMPORTANT: IM NOT GOING TO ASK FOR FINANCIAL AID AND I WILL PAY FULL TUITION</p>

<p>Cornell is need-blind. It doesn’t matter whether you apply for financial aid or not. </p>

<p>Which school are you applying to? Engineering? Arts & Sciences?</p>

<p>Everything looks great…just try to get that 670 up if you can. Cornell regular is brutal tho so try to brace yourself for anything. Best thing u can do in your supplement is prove to them why u belong at Cornell and how you can enrich the community.</p>

<p>CornellED, Im applying ED ,so i think i have a better chance that way. And im applying to CALS, so my chemistry/math EC’s should help. Froma2z, thanks for the tip , also do you think i should write about my religion/culture(muslim, arab) or about my love of science in essays?</p>
