Cornell vs. Dartmouth?

<p>It was NOT a merit based scholarship (ivy league schools don’t give merit based scholarship).</p>

<p>I didn’t say it was a merit scholarship. If you’ve done anymore research, you would’ve found out that it was honors program of sorts with a loan-replacement stipend. </p>

<p>In the end, Cornell and Dartmouth gave the same amount of grants, but $4000 of Cornell’s grants had the requirements I mentioned before. At Dartmouth I can choose not to work for a term to concentrate on studies without having my financial aid decreased.</p>

<p>Except you were offered the $4000 as an honor, not because they wanted to screw you up and make up a financial package too complex for ivy students. If Dartmouth offered more money, say so, but you’re claiming that Cornell’s attempts to honor your achievements with a unique program participation actually makes it worse.</p>

<p>And yes, I’m freakin’ serious.</p>

<p>That scares me.</p>

<p>yeahhh, the WSJ used facebook as one of their sources.</p>

<p>I submitted the same CSS and FAFSA to Cornell and Dartmouth, and both used the same EFC to calculate their packages for me. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, then Dartmouth offered me more money. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Even with the Cornell Tradition program, Cornell’s package had more loans than Dartmouth’s package. If you what you say is true, then assuming I turned down the “Cornell Tradition”, I would have had an additional $4000 in loans. If that were the case, then Cornell’s package (without my participation in the program) would have asked me to take about $8000 in loans compared to Dartmouth’s $3500. </p>
