so i’m beginning to prepare my application for cornell ED as a rising senior and i’ve come across the college board’s “certification of finances” for international students that are required for all international students to submit (if i’m correct). i think its ridiculous because i live 4 hours away from cornell, which is closer than most american cities yet i have to show that i have enough finances to leave the country should something go wrong?!

anyway… how much money do they typically expect you to provide from parents/other sources before giving you a visa? i’ve heard from others who’ve studied in the states that they have had to sell cars etc. to pay for this expense… i find it all very confusing.

please help!!
