<p>Hello everyone! I'm thinking about applying for a fall transfer next semester and I have a few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Cornell is need-blind, but do they still consider your financial situation when reviewing your application? My family is very close to the federal poverty level and I was wondering if this is taken into consideration.</p></li>
<li><p>Is transfer student financial aid the same as freshman financial aid (100% need) ?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Bump for answers! The search function is rather inefficient.</p>
<p>If you’re a U.S citizen, your financial citizen will not be considered. If you are an international applicant, your financial situation and financial need will be considered during the evaluation.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>Are you sure? I thought I read somewhere that my financial situation is considered, but won’t affect me negatively.</p>

<p>“All admissions decisions are made on a need-blind basis.
Neither your family’s financial situation nor your own has any
bearing on our decision to admit you.”</p>
<p>Ahh, I see. Thank you!</p>
