Fin aid at Yale is strong. There likely isn’t going to be a huge difference between their FA and some other generous school. My concern is whether she is ready to apply, understands what matters to Yale, how to give herself a better shot. Right now, the scores aren’t top and no stem ECs, for that interest. Limited ECs related to poli sci. The family issue won’t be a tip without the full picture.
