<p>I think the fact that Yale now has the most generous financial aid in the United States, in terms of financial aid spending per financial aid recipient, will be reflected in a higher yield rate this year.</p>
<p>"Olson, who said he is leaning toward Yale, said the financial-aid packages at Dartmouth College and Williams College do not come close to what Yale has offered him." </p>
<p>that also happened with me with dartmouth and columbia as compared to yale.</p>
<p>but we'll have to see harvard's, because i'm pretty sure harvard might beat yale's because they do not count home equity like yale does.</p>
<p>whatever im still a yalie :)</p>
<p>Yale gave me $10,000 more than Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, and Wesleyan. they gave $20,000 more than Wellesley, Connecticut College and American. did apply to any other ivies so can't compare those.</p>
<p>$10,000 per year? Or per semester?</p>
<p>I got $4k/yr more from Harvard than Yale.</p>
<p>If students have any assets of their own, Yale garnishes 25% of them per year; Harvard only about 5%.</p>
<p>Yale is very very generous towards of Intl. Compared to those who get into Princeton and MIT, Yale gives the most,but I have no idea of Harvard</p>
<p>I got 2k more from Princeton than Yale.</p>
<p>Yale gives me full aid, my family is not rich. Two of my schoolmates which also receives full aid from MIT and Princeton, got 5-10k less than mine</p>
<p>Are you intl? Have you attended both universities?</p>
<p>If you have minor discrepancies between offers, contact the financial aid office. I suspect they'd adjust your offer by a few thousand to match a peer school. Don't let that influence your decision.</p>
<p>2500 more from Yale than Princeton (yay!); haven't received notice from Harvard yet.</p>
<p>lobgent: it's fun to watch the offers come in but if your top choice school doesn't have the best offer, give the FA office a call like kwijiorjt said. Congrats. Which way are you leaning? Have you visited the three?</p>
<p>For us, Harvard is $438/year ahead of Yale and significantly ahead of Princeton. It seems like Princeton is lagging behind the other two this year for most students.</p>
<p>per year***</p>
<p>Harvard and Princeton both gave me significantly more than Yale did. Don't know how that works. Do you guys think I should try and get more from Yale (because we need it)?</p>
<p>Yes........</p>
<p>umm harvard gave me $7000 more per year than Yale...so yeah that sucks...</p>
<p>Maybe the calculation is different....I have no idea which one is the best now</p>
<p>Yale gave (no kidding) $25,000 more than Princeton. What a wierd difference!</p>
