<p>This may sounds really general. But If your an international student and your house income is about 24k, and you want to apply to CoE ED and if i get accepted, would i be able to get financial aid?</p>
<p>there is a limited amount of international student that get funded.</p>
<p>It really depends, Cornell is need-blind for international students when they are evaluating the applications. However, they won’t meet the students’ full need. So, you will have to compete against hundreds of other international applicants for a limited amount of resources. If you are lucky, Cornell will provide a financial aid package that will cover your tuition maybe even some other costs, but it’s common for international students to not get any financial at all</p>
<p>Do you know how many students get financial aid each year?</p>
<p>Domestic students can’t get enough of financial aid but sure international students here are jackpot winners…I know that almost every other private University including IVY’s here offer decent scholarship to international students…actually I have a friend who is an international student & pays nada who had an “ok” G.P.A … but the country he comes from did help him bag it…every school esp. private uni & colleges have quota for international students and if u fit in their niche bullseye… good luck…sometimes I wish I was an international student</p>
<p>wait. so does that mean it is “easier” for international students to get accepted but they have a lower chance of getting financial aid?</p>
<p>YES…also it depends on the country you hail from if you come from a third world country then BINGO given that you have good grades and ECs and all those cherry toppings… make sure you write an awesome essay and explain to them why you are a suitable candidate for their school and above all why you should get financial aid… I bet you will be a winner…The trick is get a lot of recommendations from your teachers, bosses and all oh! ad to get financial aid your family income should be less… if your parents are loaded and say good bye to the financial aid but you will still be able to get into IVy’s given that you have the aforementioned requirements
P.S my friend is from Nepal and according to him, his friends too got into IVY’s without paying a penny.
Good Luck</p>
<p>^ SpaceOdyssey is mistaken. Just being an International Student doesn’t increase your chances. It instead makes it tougher!!</p>
<p>For the Ivies, in particular, there is no way that being an International student will get you in!! & I bet all of the senior members on CC would agree with me on this!!</p>
<p>Some other up & coming pvt universities or large institutes might be a bit lenient towards Intn’l students but that is because they usually pay more fees and add to the diversity!!</p>
<p>Coming to financial aid applicants. Intn’l students have it tougher, because only few universities offer aid to us and It is a very competitive pool of applicants vying for this aid!! Instead, to my understanding, citizens have the FAFSA & Institutional Aid. However, if you see an International student at an Ivy, he/she mostly would have had their need met 100% since the Ivies wont admit the candidate otherwise!!</p>
<p>And spaceodyssey says
“if you come from a third world country then BINGO given that you have good grades and ECs and all those cherry toppings… make sure you write an awesome essay and explain to them why you are a suitable candidate for their school and above all why you should get financial aid… I bet you will be a winner…The trick is get a lot of recommendations from your teachers, bosses and all oh! ad to get financial aid your family income should be less”</p>
<p>May I point out that he/she just pointed out the basics of gaining admissions to the Ivies which holds good for every applicant(domestic & Intn’l)!! :)</p>
<p>But coming to your question :-
This may sounds really general. But If your an international student and your house income is about 24k, and you want to apply to CoE ED and if i get accepted, would i be able to get financial aid?</p>
<p>Firstly, you should do some research on your own. Its all there on the Cornell Website. Now Cornell says it is need blind in admissions for Intn’l students but since it has limited funds, it cannot meet 100% need of students and might not award fin-aid to all applicants. However, applicants will be accepted/denied/waitlisted with no regard to their aid. The limited aid is offered to only strong candidates!! :)</p>
<p>However, this policy of Cornell is quite different from that of other Ivies & top universities!!</p>
<p>Anyway, All the Best!!</p>
<p>Most international students I knew at Cornell who needed financial aid did not get it from the university, but got some sort of scholarship from their country.</p>
<p>Ahh, true!! ^ there’s a difference between scholarship & aid. Cornell offers only need based aid!! 
And it has nothing to do with government scholarships!! As per my knowledge, Governments in the Middle East do have higher studies scholarships. So if the OP is from one of those countries - then lucky him!! :)</p>
<p>it depends on your stats…I remember hearing once that for example their are people at harvard whose family income is 12k max and they received all the aid they needed</p>
<p>^ All Ivy FA is need based. So while your stats help you gain admission. Your family income & EFC determines how much you pay!!</p>
