<p>That has nothing to do with the statistics you posted in the previous post, which compared two families with potentially different financial profiles. All cases have to be evaluated on an individual basis, so there is no knowing if you would get a better package from Yale or from Harvard.</p>
<p>In terms of your post above, while Yale may budget 10% less in financial aid per student enrolled, the article you posted also points out that Yale is actually budgeting MORE than Harvard in terms of financial aid per student receiving financial aid – which is a much more important measure, in my opinion. This implies that people applying for aid will actually receive slightly better packages from Yale than they will from Harvard.</p>
