And yes. They do a deep dive. For example, if a college wrongly awards you federally funded aid like a Pell Grant, they are required to claw back that award if they find it was awarded in error.
How much more aid do you need to make Cornell affordable? $2000 or $20,000…because your chances on the lesser amount are better than on the larger amount…unless Cornell made a calculation mistake.
What is your plan if Cornell doesn’t get back to you by April 30?
