<p>And I got the acceptance letter I was expecting--don't worry if you haven't gotten your letter yet; they were mailed out on Thursday, but I live pretty close to Cornell. But all that was in it was the letter telling me I'm accepted and a flyer explaining the deposit of $400 by January 15, that everything like housing and all that comes in April, and that "if you applied for finaid, you'll get a letter from them." When does THAT LETTER come (the flyer doesn't say), as that's what I was looking forward to seeing today?</p>
<p>You should get it relatively soon, I think within the next week or two was when I got mine.</p>
<p>wow congratulations!
can I ask you a quick question?
What sat score did you get and what was your gpa?</p>
<p>AHHhh!!! You got me excited and I went outside and checked my maill… and nothing. lol</p>
<p>But then again, I live in Florida…</p>
<p>I got mine, and I’m in CT. They’re certainly very speedy-getting a letter on sat. when you only heard on thurs isn’t bad at all!</p>
<p>Don’t get excited, it’s basically just a letter telling you that you got in (you know that) and that you have to pay them $400 by Jan 15. What I’m waiting for is the finaid letter. Where oh where could it be?</p>
<p>I got my FA letter and the acceptance letter today, but I live in NJ so that probably made me get everything faster. So if you didn’t get it yet, it should be in your mailbox early next week.</p>
<p>What are the FA packages like?</p>
<p>Mine is very generous. I didn’t get any loans and will only have to come up with about $10,000 per year, including work-study.</p>
<p>I got mine too!! The letter came with the acceptance letter. Its in a big envelope. I’m getting a full ride, excluding the $2370 I’ll have to pay myself.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance and financial aid letters today too, also in NJ. Seems like the same deal as Focus’s; everything is covered except for the $10,000 room and board.</p>
<p>vsung - what’s your income level like?</p>
<p>i have the same thing as vsung. I get full ride excluding the 2370. I don’t get it. What is the student contribution?</p>
<p>Is the mail the mailbox-kind or the delivery UPS/DHL kind?</p>
<p>^regular mail box</p>
<p>I think the student contribution is what you yourself are expected to contribute. Do you have a job or a couple thousand dollars in the bank?</p>
<p>This might take a while—>China</p>
<p>i guess i better get a job this summer</p>
<p>it worries me i didn’t get my finaid letter the same day as my acceptance. especially considering i probably live a lot closer to cornell then most of you; on the PA side of US-15…not far from corning. that’s what i was excited about getting. that’s my xmas present right there. i’m calling on monday if i don’t get it just to make sure we’re good.</p>
<p>does the $2370 include federal work study? i’m under 60k income/100k assets so I’m expecting a full ride (they promised it, one of the reasons i was able to apply ED), so i’m interested.</p>
