<p>ok, so since cornell doesn't give merit aid, and i qualify for like $2 in financial aid, i was thinking about bargaining with cornell for a better offer (this is after i get my initial offer). i have some pretty okay merit scholarships from other schools, how much is cornell willing to bargain? are they easy to bargain with? or they can take someone else who can pay instead of me? i got a likely letter since im a female engineer, but aside from that my stats are pretty average.</p>
<p>My cousin bargained with Georgetown a few years ago... She said she couldn't attend because it was too costly, and then they offered her 1/4 tuition... She said she still couldn't and then they offered her 1/2.</p>
<p>So Idk, I suppose it's worth a try if you def can't attend w/o fin aid.</p>
<p>does anyone else have an opinion?</p>
