<p>I got this letter saying that Cornell isn’t able to consider FA at this time. Did anyone else get this? </p>
<p>So anyone know why Cornell isn’t able to consider FA at this time? They said that they won’t be able to consider it until next March… </p>
<p>Is it perhaps because I submitted my stuff late? But if that’s the case, then they could probably consider my FA stuff as soon as I submit them… not March.</p>
<p>They’ve already budgeted their monies for ED students, and you will have to wait to be considered a part of the financial aid pool for RD students, I’m assuming.</p>
<p>Is the budget higher for ED people? Or is this because of the international thing?</p>
<p>Are you an international?</p>
<p>If so, they are probably waiting to see what kind of international applicants they admit during RD to see who they want the most, and give them the available financial aid.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m international…</p>
<p>Oh, and just curious, did they ask internationals for quarter grades too or is it just for US people? And they asked for quarter grades regardless whether you’re in a trimester or semester system, right?</p>
<p>I got the exact same letter. It also talks about being released from the Early Decision Commitment. I want to ask, when you are released from the Early Decision Commitment, does it mean that you reject the offer right away or that you would be able to choose to accept it or reject Cornell after the decision for FA is told?</p>
<p>I am international, too. Just for the curiosity, I wonder if any international did not get this?</p>
<p>I think (or hoping lol) it means that you’re still able to accept the offer in March after you release yourself from ED. </p>
<p>Haha… this is like EA, except with all the advantages of ED lol Or maybe Cornell already knew that this would happen when they were admitting people so they held up higher standards. </p>
<p>Though I’m really not sure, so if anyone could clarify, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>Does your Financial aid to do list say that FA is due in Feb too? </p>
<p>And domestic ED FA is due November, right? </p>
<p>If so, then that explains it.</p>
<p>Yes, it does say Feb. . Wait, so does it mean that they are delaying the FA notification for ALL international students?</p>
<p>And I read somewhere else that it says Nov. for domestic people, right? Can any domestic person confirm this? lol </p>
<p>Probably… they’ll probably consider all the internationals at the same time. </p>
<p>Hey, at least they let internationals apply early lol But then this is just like EA lol </p>
<p>In this case, are we allowed to do anything to enhance our application (just so we can get more aid)? lol</p>
<p>So did any internationals get requested for quarter grades?</p>
