I understand that Cornell is need based, not merit. We have done the fafsa and the css. Just curious-Is the fa like a sliding scale? If we make just over 200,000 will they offer need ?
The cost is still a lot of money based on our income.
(My kid has received a likely/acceptance letter.)
Did you fill out the Net Price Calculator for Cornell- what did it say? As far as I know, Cornell’s prediction is going to be relatively accurate if your financial situation is straightforward (i. you don’t own a business, divorced parents, have a lot of real estate besides your primary residence). Is the number from Cornell on the calculator within your budget?
