<p>Essays
Common App essay was okay, the story was good but it wasn't "beautifully" written
Cornell supplement was good
References were good, I have had both teachers for more than one year so they know me well. </p>
<p>Financial Aid
I am applying for financial aid, and I am a Canadian student. I probably require $30,000 to $35,000 in aid.</p>
<p>Other
Caucasian, Male, no family or relatives at Cornell or other Ivey leagues, haven't visited but I have a friend who attends Cornell</p>
<p>What do you think? I feel that my financial need will hurt me a lot, especially since I am an international student. But from what I hear, HumEc is easier to get into. Anyone know?</p>
