So… how do I appeal the financial aid?
@ammielove - if the award is truly undoable for your parents, then they should do an appeal since the amount is based upon their finances, not yours. You can call the Financial Aid Office, but they will have to produce documentation for whatever hardship they are claiming. Please caution them that just because it may be an ungodly amount of money does not mean it is not a correct calculation. You can read many posts from other Yale parents talking about deferring almost everything but a roof over their head, food and utilities while they scrape up the money. But appeals can work. It worked for us and our contribution was reduced by 25%. Good luck. and Congratulations on your admission and welcome to the family. Boola Boola!!

@ammielove The Yale Daily News ran a story a few months ago, including quotes from the Yale Fin Aid Director that covered in detail how to negotiate a better award.
Some excerpts from the article:
"Every student interviewed who showed Yale a more generous offer from another Ivy received a subsequent readjustment in their Yale package after conversations with the financial aid office.
Since each Ivy League school can only award financial aid based on a student’s estimated need, as opposed to merit or athletic ability, Storlazzi (Yale’s director of financial aid) said that if another Ivy calculates a higher aid package for a student than Yale does, Yale will typically do its best to calculate a similar number.
Ideally, Storlazzi said, Yale is eventually able to offer students a package that will enable them to attend.
“We don’t say ‘match,’” Storlazzi said. “We don’t use the m-word. But we want to see what we can do within Yale’s philosophy of needs analysis, and, frankly, we do want to see if we can come close to what the other school offered. We want students to decide on fit instead of on finance.”
