<p>If I am accepted ED, but the financial aid package is not good enough, can I not attend Cornell?</p>
<p>the short answer:yes</p>
<p>You need to do things properly though. I asked about this during a Cornell info session and this is what they said.... </p>
<ul>
<li>first you need to ask them to look over your financial aid again. If they do and you still don't like the package then they release you from the "contract". I guess if they give you a free ride (which is highly unlikely) then obviously you can't complain much about the money.</li>
</ul>
<p>If financial aid is a really big deal in your college decision you might want to reconsider ED.</p>
