<p>Did anybody here with a relatively low income apply ED and got accepted? I want to know your income and the amount of financial aid they gave(and assets if they are significant). People here have told me that even in ED Cornell wouldn't be too harsh in aid, but I want to know how generous or harsh they are in numbers. I'm deciding whether to applying ED because of this</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>My family is also low-incomed and I'm also debating whether or not to apply ED to Cornell. I heard Cornell is not financial-assisting as Dartmouth. So right now, I'm apply ED to Dartmouth instead. But don't copy me; you'll be extra competetion. :mad:</p>
<p>Supposedly they will meet all your needs. Apparently if you feel that the aid package isn't enough, you can negotiate to sweeten the deal even more.</p>
<p>Hey, I don't know for sure. I don't concern myself with financial aid so much because being an international means that I don't get anything anyway no matter how poor I am.</p>
<p>if they don't give you enough money they're just screwing themselves. you'll have difficulty attending and either go elsewhere right off the bat (lowers yield) or drop out and then go elsewhere (lowers retention rate). I haven't heard of anybody being shafted on ED FA</p>
<p>If you're in-state and low income, you should consider the HEOP/EOP plan. It's on the supplemental sheet, and you check it off. I think you have to sacrifice 6 weeks of your summer but I believe it will help you chances if you're somewhat below the "average" applicant.</p>
<p>What if your middle class. Can you still check off HEOP/EOP?</p>
<p>I'm not sure of the exact cutoffs for HEOP/EOP. You'd have to e-mail or call the admissions office and ask for some numbers. They usually just send you this general site about HEOP/EOP that doesn't really give you any figures.</p>
<p>What exactly is HEOP/EOP?</p>
<p>I don't know what to do now--HELP</p>
<p>If I apply ED, I'm worried that I'll be flooded in loans. Should I call them and ask them for an estimate? Will they give it to me?</p>
<p>heythatslife, they did give aid to 13 internationals last year, but that would be based more on a combination of merit and need.</p>
<p>Can we get back on topic? Ask your own questions on your own threads--please.</p>
<p>Can anybody accepted under ED with a income below 40K please post their fin aid stats.. Please.</p>
