<p>It’s interesting–and confusing–to me that Cornell is the generous one here. After all, it can’t afford to go no-loans, and I know several other students this year who received barely adequate FA packages from them. Of the ivies, only HYP are known for “better” financial aid.</p>
<p>I would definitely appeal, even if you don’t expect a change. Cornell is need-only, or at least claims to be.</p>
