Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

Does someone here know if colleges consider the annual home mortgage payments as an expense incurred by the family?

I will be admitted to the CoE based off the Diversity Hosting Letter I received :smiley:

Does anyone know how much financial aid Cornell gives to international students?
I got a likely letter two weeks ago and now I’m stressed out because they said that the amount is limited. My parents make around 27K-30K a year.

If you are admitted I believe they will meet your full need. It’s only a consideration during admissions.

i don’t think they give much financial aid to international students

What time are decisions released on Thursday?

@Daminator 5PM EDT

@dianaDM they only give financial aid to a limited number of international applicants; others will not get any aid. But if they indeed award you financial aid, it would be quite generous.

@Ksty1098 Cornell is need-blind in the admissions process even for international students, but does not guarantee financial aid for all the admitted internationals

5pm @Daminator

@ymehkri http://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/tableau_visual/admissions has numbers from each year for each school (you can even divide it by gender), so you can calculate the percentages yourself.

@LViaLViaquez Thanks!

Does anyone know what types of students receive guaranteed transfers?

Is it a a bad sign that I’ve heard absolutely nothing from Cornell since I applied? Sigh the JHU rejection was bad enough… :frowning:

@slamai Don’t worry, I hardly receive anything from Cornell too, and I applied ED. I don’t actually think it means much. I know people who were accepted ED, but didn’t hear much from Cornell.

^not a bad sign at all! Hang in there!

I’m in the same boat as you slamai. What college did you apply to. I got rejected from jhu too…

So Is it possible to receive an admission notification before March 31 if you’re in CAS

@NotAMathlete Thank you. That kinda made me feel better:)

@Princetonian9 Haha I’m not alone. I aapplied to the college of engineering. You?

I applied to CAS (arts and sciences) near eastern studies. Im just worried cause everyone else is getting letters or whatever, do they just leave us at the bottom of the pile because of our app, or is it by Last name idk, concerned

And I press reply under your post but when mine gets posted it doesnt show that I replied to you
