<p>What are the chances I get in? I made every attempt to show that AEM was the fit for me and that I fit what they wanted through my supplement.</p>

<p>I am out of state from a middle class family.. wont qualify for too much aid but truly cant afford it. Is there any way for me to graduate from Cornell with less than 150K in debt? Is cornell generous?</p>

<p>It costs 55K/yr to attend Cornell. What’s your family EFC and what are they willing to contribute? There are a lot of kids who graduate from Cornell with less than 150K in debt because they have FA or their parents are paying the full price. You can’t afford 150K debt coming out of UG. It’ll be 1700/mon for 10 years to pay it off. You’ll be crushed with that amount of monthly payment. You need to make sure to have some financial safety schools.</p>
