<p>How is the financial aid at Yale? I'm currently in somewhat of a unique financial situation (and will be when I apply to colleges) that may be misleading simply on paper. </p>
<p>Only for the last 2 years, have my mom and dad both held jobs, each paying around 60-70k a year. However, before that, only my dad was employed (and only as a postdoc, which paid about 35k a year). Also, because of their new jobs, my parents must live in two different states, 8 hours away. We've been living in apartments for the last decade and we're looking to buy a house soon, and I have two little siblings.</p>
<p>So my question is, if I get accepted into Yale, how would the financial office view my situation? On paper, we would seem to be an mid-high middle class family, but we really aren't. Especially with the housing and siblings, money is tight. How likely would it be that I would get offered more aid? I've heard certain colleges are amazing with adding financial aid (such as Dartmouth) and was wondering about Yale. Thanks</p>
