<p>Thanks everyone’s helpful comments & tips! Especially the Cornell Student Aid Calculator link that it really helps!
Now I need to have some serious talk with my daughter to reconsider
- applying a few ‘cheaper & safer’ (better $$ aid and higher admission rate) colleges as safety-net, and
- applying Cornell regular admission (instead of ED)
so that we may have great flexibility in term of $$ consideration then.
Thanks again! - 5KidsDad</p>
