<p>hmmm about that (H-word) thing...probably only happened because it was before Yale's cool new financial aid initiative! woot Yale still trumps all!</p>
<p>^^ His daughter is now a freshman so not before Yale's new financial aid initiative. Unless Yale has a cooler newer financial aid initiative that I don't know about, which would be exciting! But I doubt it....</p>
<p>Haha, "H-word."</p>
<p>I just needed to be far away from Connecticut aka "the most boring place on planet Earth" as possible. Seriously, the ghetto parts, and the suburbs, this whole state is a dumb.</p>
<p>Sorry, I wanted to write "dump." That's how much I hate this place.</p>
<p>I think it's been settled that your post, btp092, was dumb just because you said that the "whole state is a dumb".
Dumb much?</p>
<p>...but I oppose to anything ending with -ale. Yes, you, Nathan Hale. :D</p>
<p>...Broadway called and wanted to cast me in "Wicked" (I'm just that good, jk).</p>
<p>At least Connecticut has gay marriage (not dumb!)...Even Cali can't attest to that anymore.</p>
<p>Actually, this application process has taught me that Connecticut, in fact, does have three Cs in its name. Why? You ask, Did I choose to write Connecticut out on my envelopes? Who knows...</p>
<p>I would have gone to Yale, but I didn't know how to spell Connecticut and therefore couldn't MapQuest it...</p>
<p>I just figured out the bus schedule. Why move now and have to re-learn a whole new one?!</p>
<p>but apparently Yale does not have a club specifically for people named Jeff, and that is a deal-breaker.</p>
<p>haha this is getting funnier by the minute.</p>
<p>"At least Connecticut has gay marriage (not dumb!)...Even Cali can't attest to that anymore."</p>
<p>...but gay marriage was approved in Connecticut by the Supreme Court. It was approved by the court in California, too, until people there voted otherwise. How do you know if people in Connecticut were also asked to vote pro or against gay marriage, the majority would be pro? You don't know that. </p>
<p>Pro gay marriage here, btw!</p>
<p>What I am saying is that right now it is legal. I know it was the court's doing, but there has been almost no major backlash unlike in California (as far as I can tell). I am pretty sure that Prop (H)8 will probably be overturned by the courts again (I saw the legal argument broken down by someone and its pretty convincing, legalese-wise), so I was just commenting on the current state of things.</p>
<p>It looked as if, with the surge of Democrats into the NY State legislature (with the support of the current Governor), that gay marriage might have a chance in New York. That was when we were all drunk on HOPE and CHANGE and forgot that Albany is the most corrupt capital except for maybe Louisiana.</p>
<p>but many potential Yalies debate gay rights issues, and I am nonconfrontational :P</p>
<p>Big ups to phipijsl for the meta joke.</p>
<p>I grew up in New Haven. Run!!</p>

. . . but Harvard's financial aid offer was $24,000 more generous than Yale's (true in the case of my D, a freshman at H).

<p>If your D wanted to go to Yale, you should have called their financial aid office. The Ivies usually do a good job of matching financial aid packages if you show them one from another school and its a substantial difference.</p>
<p>^^ The only thing is: how can you make sure that that's sustained for all four years? Won't they just recalculate again the next year back to your original EFC?</p>
<p>but Williams was much more chill.</p>
<p>...it wasn't Bowdoin.</p>
<p>boo last two posters lol.</p>
