I think you should use Google to find FREE sites that offer scholarships. And look for scholarships that relate to your major. If you got into Cornell, you are smart enough to find full rides and financial aid... I went to a state university in Cali, and found scholarships that totaled $6000, and I'm a 3.8 student in broadcasting.
I graduated about 2 months ago and now I'm starting up a video production company with the backing of a established business firm.
If I can do this, you can definitely find money to go to Cornell. It would suck a lot if you couldn't go because of the lack of funds. Heck, take out loans if you have to. It's worth it.
