<p>I’m an international student who got into Cornell University RD and got no financial aid. Grinnell college also admitted me RD and has offered me need based aid worth 16k and a scholarship of 10k. My intended major is government/political science. I will be able to pay for Cornell too,but it won’t be easy. Should I pick CU or Grinnell? I know this sounds stupid, but will Cornell be worth the whole amount, and will picking Grinnell over Cornell be worth the 34k?</p>
<p>If you had not received aid from Grinell, where would you have been inclined to attend? Also, hasn’t it now passed the day when you have to commit. I take it you may have already made your decision? Wishing you all the best.</p>
