<p>I was just waitlisted at Cornell (and dartmouth and columbia), and was wondering whether submitting a statement that I will take back my application for Fin Aid would help my chances in getting off the waitlist?</p>

<p>I am a Canadian citizen, and they say they do not have much Financial aid for international students anyways (I've heard of a Canadian student whose parents earn less than mine get 0$ fin aid), would it benefit me?
Thanks all</p>

<p>I don’t think it will help you as admissions and financial aid are two separate departments, and it’s also need-blind.</p>

<p>Yeah. Need-blind.</p>

<p>They have limited finaid for us ints. So some will not get, like your friend and me. But agreed with above; need blind. Good luck with waitlists. I am on them. I hate and love them at the same time :)</p>
