What Kind of Financial Aid is Harvard Giving?
Can we list the need based aid Harvard is giving? Are you disappointed or not? Thanks.

unless you make more than 200k, you should not be dissapointed. <60k = free. 120-180k = 12k-18k EFC.

Its really good fin aid imo. Too bad i am on waitlist. Penn is charging me 35k+.

Hi Jen98, If you don't mind me asking: Was it 10% of gross income or AGI?

I... actually can't be absolutely sure which they used for their calculations, but my parent's expected contribution (excluding the student portion) came out closer to 10% of their unadjusted income. Just for reference, we don't have significant assets (besides our home, which isn't figured in), and my income is pretty much negligible.
