Then your best bet is to talk to the financial aid office. You have many options to help finance your education.

For instance…if that $6,000 is your family/student contribution your parents must apply for a PLUS loan. If you can show Cornell that your parents were rejected for a PLUS loan and you were rejected from 2 private loan agencies…then they will work to authorize additional means to finance the cost. I had to deal with this process for my final 2 years.
