<p>Cornell matches the aid packages from other ivies and duke and stanford and Uchicago. Does anyone know if they'll match Amherst as well?</p>
<p>No. The only schools Cornell will match the financial aid offer from are MIT, Duke, Stanford, and the other Ivy league schools (and not UChicago as you mentioned).</p>
<p>^Can you cite that? Cause I’d love it to be true. 
IF I’m lucky enough to get into Cornell it just got much more attractive.</p>
<p>Award Match Initiative
To improve Cornell’s competitiveness in recruiting and enrolling undergraduate students, Cornell will commit to increasing grant aid by matching the family contribution components and lower loan level of financial aid offers from other Ivy schools. We will also strive to match the family contribution components and lower loan levels of financial aid offers from Stanford, Duke, and MIT.</p>
