<p>Have any accepted ED applicants received their financial aid information yet? If so, has it met your expectations/need?</p>
<p>My son received his yesterday. Very true to their new policy-very generous package. We can now put the cornell static sticker on the minivan!</p>
<p>I do not qualify for need based aid :(.</p>
<p>Well now I can get a sweet job waiting tables in college town instead of a crappy campus job! (thats not sarcasm, I love working at restaurants, and they make very good money)</p>
<p>are you sure about that Tboonepickens?</p>
<p>I've heard a few stories of people who were absolutely sure they couldn't qualify, and then applied, and found out they did qualify for something.</p>
<p>What is the nature of the campus jobs?</p>
<p>mostly of the food variety.</p>
<p>but you can always get a job at a library.</p>
<p>No, I submitted my stuff and i got it back today, aid not included. But to be honest, I knew it wouldnt be that much if any.</p>
<p>Campus jobs that are not in food service are usually pretty good.</p>
<p>Now, because of the way that Cornell works with scholarships... that is, you get $1000 in outside scholarships, then they take $1000 out of their contribution. First from loans, then from work-study, then from grants or something like that. A friend of mine and I were thinking that if we could get enough scholarships to cover our work-study (we qualify to be loan-free) that we could get jobs off-campus?</p>
