<p>Hi everyone :)</p>
<p>I am a prospective student at the CAS and I'm just wondering how much FinAid Cornell gave on average in past years. I'd say that my family is a mid-class family with annual salary of 70-80k. I was really disappointed by my Chicago finaid so I want to get a good idea this time before getting overly excited about being accepted to Cornell.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you're family makes $75,000 or less you'll have no loans after your parent and student contributions are calculated.</p>
