<p>“The proof is in Harvard’s near-80% yield rate in contrast to Princeton’s yield rate, which will probably not exceed 68.5% - below not only Harvard’s, but Yale’s and Stanford’s as well.”</p>
<p>that’s pretty weak “proof,” since yield depends on a host of different factors, of which aid is just one. harvard’s yield has long been higher than princeton’s, for example, even when princeton was for years the unequivocal leader in aid matters. and stanford’s yield has long been “up there” with HYP, despite being a definite “follower” in such matters, and even then not a terribly good one.</p>
