I usually do not respond to chance me because who really knows!!!

Were there students from your school accepted to Cornell? Being an international student is difficult enough, you also need financial aid and would like to apply to Dyson which has the lowest acceptance rate. Those are three strikes aganist you. You could still apply to Cornell but you may want to look for other colleges that you may have much better chance than Cornell.

Yes, last year there was a student who got accepted with a 66000$ scholarship. She had 1490 on SAT.

She got into dyson

Other than that, 5 to 6 students from my school have gotten scholarships at various colleges at cornell in the past 6 years.

I’m guessing they got their scholarships through this program?

This is for Indian students. My school is in Bangladesh which is a neighbour country of India. Sorry for using the word scholarship earlier; students from my school recieved financial aid.

Cornell is need aware, meaning that it’s going to be very hard considering the amount of financial aid you need. ECs look ok so I guess you have a chance still. Good luck!
