<p>@ Lobzz - Cornell is a little complicated when it comes to international financial aid. On their FAQ for Internationals they say they are need-blind,

<p>but as Korg said claims of need-blindness can be deceptive. Cornell will look at your application without regard if you can pay for it, but then the financial aid office will decided in the spring how much international students have to pay. It’s great that Cornell increased it’s International budget, but it has the smallest endowment in the Ivy League for the most students. So it is trying its best. </p>

<p>The Ivy League schools that are definitely need-blind for internationals are Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Dartmouth. This is supported by the Princeton U. newspaper (albeit it might be from a year or two ago).

<p>@chouchou - You should still apply ED, just be aware that the competition for FA has increased. If you are worried about it, we suggest calling the Financial Aid Office 607.255.5145 to talk about your personal situation.</p>

<p>We hope this helps</p>
