<p>^75% aid??? What the hell? What’s the whole deal about the Tata Scholarship then??</p>
<p>Nah, there are many with full ride to Cornell: most from DPS RKP. Corbell and that school seem to be married.</p>
<p>@funkysatmonkey - yes u can say >90%, they do give full aid, my senior got around 96% last year! they say they have sent the fin aid packet via DHL i should receive in early next week @desperado- im from carmel junior college.!!</p>
<p>@ nbagga and funkysatmonkey</p>
<p>If u dont mind me asking how long approximately were your common app long answers??</p>
<p>@funkysatmonkey- they emailed u ur fin aid decision???</p>
<p>I kick off with a rejection from Dartmouth. </p>
<p>ps- sorry for the abruptness.</p>
<p>@nbagga- Yeah, an email entitled Cornell University Financial Aid Decision. 
@violator-
My commonapp was around 800-900 and my supplement was about 1000. I know the supplement’s word limit is 500, but that didnt seem to matter. There was absolutely NO way I couldve made it any shorter and retain the voice and the idea.</p>
<p>Congrats.↑</p>
<p>Then why are they sending mine via courier!! 
cnt understand… my common app essay was about 1100 wrds and supplement 500.</p>
<p>Huh? They are? I guess I’ll have to call them then. Was there anything on the application which dealt with preferred method of communication?
Anyway, I hop you get your aid, nbagga. We shalt meet in Cornell. :D</p>

<p>@nbagga and @Funky
Hey, I got in COE at Cornell ED…
I am from Bangladesh and my EFC is USD 10,000
My case is similar to Funky’s. They said that they cannot provide me any aid at all. Funky, did u get reply to your e-mail of appeal yet? I didnt…
And nbagga, I am pretty sure dt u did get finaid, since u did nt receive any e-mail yet. Only d unfortunate ones received such ‘no aid’ e-mails. I got their official letter yesterday via FedEx. Lemme know any updates if possible…</p>
<p>Btw, I cant attend at all if they dont meet my full need…At best I can stretch my EFC to USD 15,000…thats it…I am so damn frustrated…huhhhhhhh</p>
