Question about Cornell Financial Aid

<p>I m wondering for Cornell's need-blind policy, even though your decision is in no way related to your financial aid, for non-U.S applicants (Canadians)who are eligible for need-blind FA and asking basically for a full ride, usually what happens is they get accepted but get less aid than demonstrated need?</p>

<p>After Cornell calculates your personal/family contribution, any demonstrated financial need should be covered 100% for U.S., Canadian and Mexican citizens.</p>

<p>check out the prospective student FAQ on finaid.cornell.edu</p>

<p>but one of my friend's situation is that her family's income s low enough to get lots of aid.but she ended up getting accepted with no FA.she is also canadian permanent resident.can you explain how this works?</p>

<p>I'm not sure how to explain it....maybe she submitted her forms late or incomplete. I only go by what the site says....but every situation is different</p>
