^ I wouldn't worry too much for the financial aspects although it's definitely an overhanging gray cloud.

Ivy Leagues actually give adequate financial aid (I mean, of course they miss sometimes). If anything, you can try to force a better financial package if you get accepted to Cornell (as long as you don't ED). If another school gives you a better package, copy and send it over to Cornell and ask if they can match it.

About the requirements and everything... Cornell is relatively easy to get into but pretty hard to stay in, so I wouldn't worry about the entrance too much unless you don't have the grades.

I think you're misunderstanding what I am initially writing about. I am already in college and I'm planning on going to graduate school to get my Ph.D., and financial circumstances will limit my flexibility on which college I will attend for graduate school. Financial aid only assists you through my undergraduate degree. In addition I pay NOTHING right now for college, so I am not worried about attending UCSD.
