<p>i heard from a friend (and fellow cornellian) that if you have 2 siblings at cornell at the same time, the financial aid office won’t award one of you money. i have trouble believing this, as i know quite a few families with 2 or more students at cornell currently. then again, i don’t know their financial situation so i guess it wouldn’t matter if they can send both/all of them full-pay. does anyone know? this may affect whether or not my brother applies as a freshman or if he’ll wait to transfer in after i graduate. thanks!</p>
<p>That sounds pretty silly. If anything, having two siblings attend at the same time would result in better financial aid packages, I would think.</p>
<p>^^^^ False. My brother and I attended at the same time and both got JACK from fin aid. Good luck.</p>
<p>^ Probably because even if one of you attended alone, you wouldn’t have gotten anything anyway. But really, I’m no FinAid official, so who knows.</p>
<p>Why not call the financial aid office instead of hearing second-hand from the rest of us?</p>
