<p>After receiving no financial aid and living in a middle class family, I am not going to be able to afford a Cornell education. This was extremely bothersome to me, as my parents simply can't handle such insane debts and payments, even though financial aid is supposed to be offered to anyone with need (isn't the inability to pay a need?).</p>
<p>Whatever the case, I want to wish everyone here luck in their futures, whether with Cornell or not. It's been fun, even though I can't say I was ever a member of the class of 2011 here "officially." Being accepted is one thing. Being able to go is entirely different.</p>
