@CU123: Everyone’s financial situation is different, but when my son was at Yale (Class of 2015), my wife and I were making between $150K and $170K and the cost of attendance for my son was about $17K per year. As the OP’s family is earning less per year and Yale is Need-Blind and Full-Need for International Students (https://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/), something is off. So, the OP needs to find out how Yale calculated his or her financial aid and go from there.
