<p>Yale’s accept rate was 6.7% and not 5.5%</p>

<p>If you get any insight on how Y uses retirement savings numbers (not the amount taken out pretax for the current year, but rather the total amount saved), let us know, I’ve always wondered if/how they use that information.</p>

703

<p>@randomazn14 how likely do you think it is for Ivies to match eachother’s fin aid packages?</p>

704

<p>Similarly, @entomom do you think both domestic and international students if they get an aid offer significantly higher from one college could get that matched by another - if both schools have generous endowments and are need blind - like in the examples above would Yale match Harvard or MIT match Princeton etc. ? I know some people stressing over this - can I reassure them there is a high possibility. Thanks in advance for the reply</p>

705

<p>@Aerovjks it’s possible… with me, they re-evaluated when they realised why I was offered lower aid packages by the other unis. Let’s just say, I was able to commit to Yale yesterday as a result of the lovely people in the financial aid office :)</p>

706

<p>Aero, I agree with the answer gibby gave you on the other thread.</p>

<p>Boola lemming!</p>

<p>@Lemming101 Congrats! Thats so nice that they sorted it out and you can got to Yale! Have u confirmed with all your colleges now - wow! Feeling relieved and secure!? I am genuinely v v happy for you. @entomom - thanks, yes, gibby’s reply was helpful - I’m afraid I was keen to hear as soon as I could and posted questions on a few threads - apologies but thanks nonetheless.</p>

709

<p>To all, I did all my notifications at the same time so that I didn’t miss anywhere (I had UK unis to notify also). I am OVER THE MOON TO BE GOING TO YALE</p>
