<p>I haven't gotten my financial aid statement yet, but I don't expect to get much at all. I'm applying to all the other schools I originally planned on applying to anyways. You can see them in my prstats account (see profile).</p>
<p>That's interesting: Stan gave me $2500 in loans but no self-help. Why is that? Also, we have $125k in stocks - do you think that's a reason for the disparity? And what is self-help: Campus job?</p>
<p>Self-help is a combination of academic year earnings (from an on-campus job, I believe) and student loans.</p>
<p>Hey, for interviews at these other schools after getting into Yale, how should we respond if they ask us if we applied anywhere early? My MIT interviewer asked me that...but that was before I got into Yale. If they ask us, and we say we got in, would it seem like H, Pton, etc. are out "second choice" and that we may choose Y over them even if we get in? I mean, aren't colleges wary of their "yield" ...would they be less inclined to admit us if they knew we were accepted early somewhere? This might be a stupid question....but bear with me LOL!</p>
<p>You don't have to tell them anything about that...you can just answer with something vague, like "I haven't made a commitment to any one school yet."</p>
<p>beethoven, Harvard isn't worried at all about anybody. It will get its yield for obvious reasons. Princeton would be just a little bit concerned if you were legacy at Yale. Remember, however, that at the top-tier schools interviews are not as important as they appear to be. If you are the type of person they are looking for during a particular admission season, they will admit you even if your interviewer tells them they are your #2 choice. Harvard makes offers of admission to Yale legacies who they know (from interview reports) got in EA at Yale.</p>
<p>Over 80% of common admits regularly choose Harvard over Yale. </p>
<p>Yale and Princeton more or less split common admits.</p>
<p>I don't sense these stats have varied much over the years, for whatever reason.</p>
