CoE vs. CALS

<p>I have question about financial aid. My family's annual income would be about 100K. In that case, I was wondering if this would make CoE financially comparable to CALS because of the new financial aid policies Cornell has. Also, do these policies apply to CALS even though it is a state institution? I am a NY State resident. I will appreciate any input on this, since I was planning to apply tonight. Any information would possibly change my primary college choice.</p>

<p>I have already looked at the sticker price: [url=<a href="http://finaid.cornell.edu/costs/%5DCosts%5B/url"&gt;http://finaid.cornell.edu/costs/]Costs[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>

<p>cornell will not make you pay more than your EFC+student contribution. If the instate price of CALS is less than your EFC+student contribution, you will be saving money, if it is more, then you will pay instate pricing. If your efc+student contribution is less than CALS instate, then both CALS and CoE will be the same price. The only way that CoE would be more expensive than cals is if your Efc+student contribution is greater than the price of CALS. As far as the estimate goes, no one really knows, but there are numerous financial aid calculators out there that can give pretty good estimates.</p>
