<p>Well I had the same confusion at the time of applying ED to Cornell. I called up the admissions office and they told me that Cornell is not need-blind for internationals.
Screw Ezra’s vision. I’d know. They offer need-based financial aid to internationals.</p>
<p>I had the same confusion sometime in July or something. I mailed Gary and Quasi and this is what they said: </p>

Cornell is NOT need-blind and it is very competitive to get into. </p>

Cornell isn’t need-blind for international students, which means they only accept a few internationals ESPECIALLY Indians who need financial aid. </p>
<p>So yeah.</p>
<p>And as far as I remember they did ask me in the application form whether I would require need-based financial aid or not.</p>
