Hi Elliot,

I recently married and will begin graduate school at Cornell this Fall (biomedical engineering). I was appalled to learn I was only getting 30% of the cost covered. I was wondering if you knew of any financial aid opportunities for married students both external and within the university.

Feel free to contact me at cjsanchez83@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

What was your parents income for you to get such a nice award. We just received our award and it was less than $2,000. We are puzzled.!

What is ridiculous is the poor job your parents did in providing for your education and they get rewarded for it by Cornell.

Well, one goes to school to *learn*, really. The cost for now isn't important--even if I make median salary, I'll be able to pay off the investment eventually ^_^

What you are forgetting is that it costs Cornell over $150,000 a year to educate you. You are getting quite a steal.

I'd hope that after having paid for a Cornell education, your starting salary outside of school would be significantly higher than the national median salary.

Otherwise, exactly why are you paying so much for the education? If you don't have the full intention of learning whatever you need to learn in order to secure a sufficiently well-paying job coming out of college, then you might as well go to a state school with lower tuition costs. The beer would, in effect, be much cheaper there.

That's a heckuva grant... although with the tuition costs so different to what I was used to back when I was at Kwantlen, I guess it's quite relative to what I may have seen.
