Hi! My parents currently have about $100,000 in the bank. How will this impact my chances of admission to the Ivies, given that I’m applying for financial aid? (Cornell specifically, if possible)
If you are not an international applicant, your family’s finances will have nothing to do with your chances of admission at Cornell, and for some of the Ivies this this will even apply to international applicants.
For domestic students, the Ivies are all need-blind (a student’s financial situation doesn’t affect their admission chances).
If you add 4 more zeros, it would have a positive impact.
