<p>does harvard match finaid offers from other schools, specifically duke?</p>
<p>they don't match merit based scholarships</p>
<p>Contact the finaid office and pose your queston.</p>
<p>If it's merit aid, Harvard won't match. If it's need-based aid, Harvard may recalculate and match. Just don't say you're calling to "negotiate," a word that sets financial aid officer's teeth on edge.</p>
<p>oh i see, thanks for all your replies</p>
