<p>I mean why would they change their FA policy to treat Canadians and Mexicans as internationals? I mean its clear that it cannot afford to be need blind to them anymore. </p>
<p>Just a question though, for internationals, is Cornell need-blind and just don’t meet full need or is it need-aware and only accept the ones it can support financially?</p>
<p>well another way to look at it is they made it easier for non-internationals to get FA, as they changed it from giving you full grants from $60,000 and under to $75,000 and under, so they’re helping a lot more students with that change. not sure about your question though, sorry.</p>
<p>another question, if Cornell says that it has around $7 million as FA resources for international students, why does it still say that its resources for international are limited? Assuming that every international gets around 30K, that’s enough for like 200 people. I’m sure Cornell doesn’t admit a lot more than 200 internationals year =S</p>
<p>Over 13k undergrads and 9% of them are international. That’s well over 1200 international students.</p>
<p>And after much debate, it was come to the conclusion that</p>
<p>Cornell admits international students without checking their ability to pay.
And then will sometimes refuse them FA sometimes grant FA.</p>
<p>^But what I don’t understand is how is this going to work for ED??</p>
<p>how would it be any different for ED than for RD?</p>
<p>There are clauses that stipulate you can break your ED agreement if absolutely unable to pay.</p>
<p>^Yep. That’s why there’s the small minority of ED applicants who are acccepted but don’t matriculate. That and the smaller minority that doesn’t maintain a satisfactory GPA during senior year.</p>
<p>^Yeah, but if they don’t meet the need for international EDers, then they’ll be a lot more EDers that don’t matriculate this year because the internationals are in the ED pool and their need are not met</p>
