How is financial aid for Out of Staters?

<p>I've been burned by some other college <em>ehem</em>UCLA<em>ehem</em> so I'm wondering about this. I had EFC of about $1870....... Any experience with cornell and financial assistance? I can't enroll in cornell unless I get at least 75% ~ 100% of my tuition and other fees paid for...but not in HUGE loans.. If there's not enough offered then I'll go to University of Texas at Austin, which is a great school, too =D If there are loans, how much should I expect to get?</p>

<p>Please offer some good advice please~~ >A<!!</p>

<p>My stats are roughly
GPA 3.8
Rank 65/630 (T_T... it's horrible. but my school is "recognized" as a difficult school.)
SAT 2280
PSAT National Merit Finalist</p>

<p>Lots of Church-related ECs and volunteering
Youth and Governement state delegate
Orchestra Region & Area Awards, Solo Performance Awards
Local Hospital Volunteering
Mustang Mentors (Freshman mentoring program)
Latin Club
National Honor Society</p>

<p>financial aid is need base at cornell</p>

<p>oh. my EFC is $1870, any ideas anyone?</p>

<p>I can't tell you how much they'll give, but I can tell you that it won't make any difference that you're from CA or any other state for that matter.</p>

<p>that's awesome =D</p>

<p>If your efc is 1870, they will be very generous.</p>
