<p>I'm applying to Yale, Duke, Williams, Cornell, and Penn. Yale wants Canadian students to convert everything into USD at the rate of 0.65 USD = 1.00 CDN, but Cornell wants students to leave everything in CND and they'll convert. What do I do for the online profile? Do I do what Yale wants or what Cornell wants? Or is it possible to fill out the profile multiple times, each time filling in different numbers?</p>
<p>Are you sure it's 0.65?</p>
<p>For what it's worth, when I filled out the CSS (I'm assuming that's what you mean by FA profile) for Cornell last year, I converted everything to USD</p>
<p>I would say convert to USD, and mention that you converted. Make sure to give the rate of conversion that you used as well.</p>
<p>ragingmen, what was the rate you used?</p>
<p>and yes, Yale wants everything converted at 0.65, unbelievable at first, I know :D</p>
<p>I believe it was somewhere around 0.8 - .83</p>
<p>0.65???</p>
<p>wow</p>
<p>1.00 CAD = .85 USD</p>
<p>Just a few months ago it was 1.00 CAD = .91 USD</p>
<p>go to <a href="http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic%5B/url%5D">www.oanda.com/convert/classic</a> and use their converter</p>
<p>so it's fine to convert at 0.65 and tell the people at Cornell that I converted at 0.65 even though Cornell specifies to leave everything in CAD?</p>
<p>are you talking about the CSS profile or FASFA? B/C FASFA we (Canadians) dont have to do. If you're talking aobut the CSS, then it gives you instructiuons on how to complete is on the CB website... so I went with that.</p>
<p>If your info is correct, Yale is using 10-year-old exchange rates. One Cnd dollar is currently worth approximately 0.85 US$. Yale's apparent lack of awareness of current exchange rates is certainly at odds with the image of a "global university" as depicted in institutional ads.</p>
