<p>hmm does that mean if I apply early decision as an international to cornell, I am essentially need-blind???</p>
<p>ya click on the ‘announcements’ hyperlink :)</p>
<p>No it hardly means that Cornell is need-blind for internationals. All it means is that funds that were dedicated towards bringing in Canadians and Mexicans specifically are now being devoted to bringing in deserving international regardless of their nation of origin. None of this has anything to do with need-blindness, only that if you’re an international from outside Canada/Mexico, your chances for FA and the amount of FA that you may get if accepted, just went up.</p>
<p>yeah, it still says that FA for internationals other than Canadian+Mexican are limited. And if you are from India, you are in a separate pool for FA. You will be competing against other indians for that India Fund thing. Just browse their website more and you will see. My guess of why they changed it is because the new policy sounds better.</p>
