Financial Aid Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>So, I applied ED and the thought of financial aid was never in my head. I'm pretty sure my parents make too much/have too much assets for me to get any need-based aid. </p>

<p>BUT today I go on Cornell's self-service page, and click on something that says I needed to fill out a CSS profile by Nov. 1? </p>

<p>Is applying for fin. aid mandatory? Am I ****ed?</p>

<p>Applying for financial aid is not mandatory. The CSS profile only needs to be submitted if you want to be considered for financial aid. So no, you are not “****ed”.</p>
