<p>Someone told me that cornell does not do $$ aid ED...now I am all confused!
So, does cornell allow you to apply for financial aid while applying ED? or is it only for RD?</p>
<p>sinewave, I know for sure that this no ED aid applies to international applicants. I don't know about domestic applicants, but I highly doubt that Cornell would not give aid to them.</p>
<p>I applied ED and got a fair amount of aid. Don't worry about the aid so much. Cornell isn't out to put your family out onto the streets.</p>
<p>Only Internationals can't apply for aid if they apply ED. I got a magnificent aid package and I applied ED.</p>
<p>so only internationals...thats a relief (for me, anyway).
Thanks!</p>
<p>I'd be cautious about the whole ED thing if you need aid though. I got in Rd, and got nothing - which was especially surprising, because there is no way we can afford it without any, and Dartmouth is offering $19000/year. Yes, they aren't "out to get you" but still be cautious and think twice because you will have much less leverage in appealing financial decisions if you are ED, whereas applying RD, you can show offers from peer schools, which they would likely match.</p>
