Qualifying for “some aid“ is a lot different than qualifying for significant aid. Cornell is pretty stingy with aid, from everything I have read. OP did not say that her family made $100,000 per year, but that they made “over $100,000 per year.” That could be anything! We are a family that has six members and makes “over $100,000 per year“ and the schools expect us to pay somewhere between $50,000 and $70,000 per year.
FWIW, we also live in Massachusetts, and my son is only applying to schools in Massachusetts. There are schools here, some that I have learned about on CC, that can provide a more affordable cost than others.
