<p>For top 20 schools
For example, would my package be the same as if i applied as a senior in high school?</p>
<p>Depends on the school. Try the net price calculators (particularly if they offer a choice of whether you will be a frosh or transfer student) and check their financial aid web sites for transfer student financial aid policies.</p>
<p>Columbia is one school that makes less of a financial aid promise to transfers than frosh.</p>
<p>anyone with personal experience?</p>
