Harvard's Financial aid

<p>Hi, is it possible for a family making 100K+ to still get a reduction in tuition from Harvard (w/o loans)? </p>

<p>On a similar note if two students had the same stats, but one chose financial aid, would Harvard prefer the one who didn't want financial aid? </p>

<p>I know Harvard is "need blind," but in that case, you might as well apply for financial aid regardless of their income to see what kind of package you'd be offered and have it not count against admission, right?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
