<p>Does anyone know when Cornell will send out the financial aid packages for people who got accepted?</p>
<p>ya i want to know that too. I know I CAN'T apply to the other universities anymore, but what if financial aid does not work out????? I still want to go to college. Should I be worried at all? or am i just... being stupid again..</p>
<p>It arrives about a couple of days or a week later. Hopefully your financial aid package will be generous. When I applied ED to Cornell two years ago, Cornell was really generous (and still is!). But again, that might be because I'm really poor (family income below/around $10,000), that's why I'm getting lots of aid.</p>
<p>They'll meet 100% of need. It just depends on your grants/loans ratio.</p>
<p>I graduated with $32,000 in loans and I'm paying them back on a 10-year plan. I'm currently doing a fellowship that only pays me $25,000/yr before taxes. My parents wanted me to defer but I decided to pay off both loans since I want to know what it's like to live on a budget. So far, it hasn't worked out too poorly. So, I guess if I can pay off $32,000 in loans on a $25,000 salary, so can you.</p>
