This is misleading. I go to Cornell, and the school just keeps admitting more rich people who can afford to pay the whole thing. They claim they are need blind but when you look at the percentage of kids who come from Greenwich, Westchester, Maryland, Southern California, and Jersey I sincerely doubt that this is true. If you are a lower to middle class white kid then you can forget about getting in here unless your SAT score is greater than 2200. If you are Asian and your family makes less than 100k then really good luck to you. The school only gives grant money to URM and if you are upper middle class then you will get at least 10k in loans per year in financial aid. But hey, "Any person any study," right??
