Ohhh, dproduct.. You are much too kind!

Am about a week away from sending pics to admissions. It's getting desperate out here.

I did have the Dean's Scholarship invite. Honestly, I was already pretty sure I wasn't getting the Dean's because of my gpa.

Got $175 for my subsidy. I feel like this is nowhere close to the amount of money it takes to visit ASD and get back home

Yeah the cheapest flight for me is $300 + I would have to spend the night. blahhh

This. Also, I drove there this last summer from the southeast. Really don't want to do that again.

Am I the only one SUPER excited about Cornell?? This thread needs some energy!

I'm excited, but I just don't know yet if Cornell is where I'll be attending next year. Once I make a final decision I'm sure I'll get more excited.

Edit: I am pretty excited about visiting though. Whenever I mention Cornell and visiting most people around my area assume it means Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. Oddly enough a similar thing happened when I was discussing Northwestern(not Northwestern College in St. Paul, a fine institution haha).

I will not allow you to pick Ann Arbor over Ithaca.

Do we know anything about when non-Dean's Scholarship offers come in? Also, I know they need Need Access and the Cornell form, but do they need 2012 tax returns before evaluating our financial aid application or just before disbursing the aid? If they need them before even making the offer, this is going to be a really long process. Below is the language from the website. Has anyone confirmed that with them?


If you wish to be considered for institutional scholarships please submit the following:

Complete the Cornell Law School Financial Aid Information Sheet
File a FAFSA using school code 002711
File a Need Access Report
Submit a complete 2012 parent tax return
Submit a complete 2012 student tax return


ETA: On another section of the site it says:

"INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
Cornell Law School awards over $4 million in institutional aid each year to new and returning students. Almost 50% of Law School students receive scholarship assistance. To be considered for institutional aid, please complete the Need Access Report at http://www.needaccess.org and Cornell Law School Financial Aid Information Sheet by March 15. "

Confused. Will email and report back!

I doubt I'll attend an ASW since I've already seen the school, but there's a good chance I'll attend the school next year. I got a Dean's Scholly, so I'd need a pretty good offer to go elsewhere.

A guurl can dream. lol

So I emailed and they confirmed that they do require 2012 tax returns for student and parents (in addition to the Cornell form and Need Access). However, I think my confusion was because if you're explicitly NOT applying for need-based aid, then these things aren't required, but that doesn't apply to me.

The march ASD is the same day as NYU's, if this helps.

So they are NOT required for merit aid? I thought Cornell required that stuff for merit aid consideration also which was really confusing me.

So, I called a woman about an apartment in Ithaca today... I asked if I could see it... in March. Needless to say, she laughed and told me to call back a week before I come out.
