Hello everyone! I'm thinking about applying for a fall transfer next semester and I have a few questions:

1. 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.

2. Is transfer student financial aid the same as freshman financial aid (100% need) ?

Thank you!

Bump for answers! The search function is rather inefficient.

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.

Thanks for the reply!

Are you sure? I thought I read somewhere that my financial situation is considered, but won't affect me negatively.

Ahh, I see. Thank you!
