<p>The student by applying ED has already said they don’t have comparing financial packages as a priority so your guess is as good as mine, if the ED college has an incentive to offer a great package to their ED applicant or if they want to save it for students whose minds they want to sway.</p>

<p>I doubt it. And how are they supposed to know how much “more” is enough? They don’t want to give more to those who aren’t expecting more. And, they don’t know how much more some are expecting who need/want more.</p>
<p>Use their calculator, Cornell has a transparent aid formula. If you can pay your EFC you’re in good shape.</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids I mean if you tell the college the target amount that will make attending financially affordable, and you need is a few thousand more dollars from the college to attend.</p>
<p>If they meet 100% of need- they will offer you aid after you pay your EFC.
Aid will be met with a combination of loans, grants & work study.</p>
