<p>I am an accepted student into the College of Engineering and I sit in the financial situation where I'll never get aid from Cornell. There is no arguing this point, it's simply the way such things work.</p>
<p>However, I also sit in the financial situation where I'm never going to be able to afford a Cornell education without putting my family into at least $80,000 of debt - a debt they can't handle.</p>
<p>What are my options now? I've done everything I can to get into Cornell and now I can't go. Are there any ways to get aid that I'm overlooking?</p>
<p>Also, what are my options for transfer in the future? If all financial chances fall through, I might (mind you, might) be able to handle one or two years at Cornell. What are the odds of transfer acceptance for someone who was already accepted?</p>
<p>Thanks for your input.</p>
