Help with understanding Cornell's financial aid system?

<p>I'm a junior in high school with stats decent enough to possibly get me into cornell regular decision, but its too much of a reach to take that chance, and I know that applying early deicison will boost my chances significantly. However, Ive read that applying early decision will screw over your financial aid package, and I can't attend cornell without out it, I guess I'm needbased, because my parents income is under 40,000/year, and its a two person houusehold.</p>

<p>So I guess what im asking is should I apply early decision and will it affect my financial aid?
Oh and is it true that they can cut your aid for the soph junior senior years?? </p>
