Financial Advice??

<p>I got into Yale as well as many other ivies. Yet, while the financial aid is set for a lot of other schools, Yale's estimate keeps on rising, to the point where any further rise and our family can't afford it. Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone know if the estimates will go down or keep on rising? I'll be awesome to hear some opinions before I make my decision. Any advice?</p>

<p>As I asked in the other thread, why is Ys offer changing while the others are final? One would assume that you have given the same financial information to all schools. Have you and your parents given final tax information to the schools?</p>

<p>yes we have given the same information, but other schools like Princeton gave the finalized financial aid letter with admission, while Yale gave an estimate each time. The estimates have been rising even though our financial situation have not changed at all, which I’m confused by. I’ll only be getting the finalized financial aid amount after I matriculate.</p>

<p>Honestly, this does not fit any experience or knowledge that I have of FA at Y or any similar college.</p>

<p>And once again I ask, have you given final tax information? This is an important factor.</p>

<p>And have you called Y FA and asked them why:</p>

<p>If not, your parents should do so ASAP.</p>
