Duke or Yale?

Duke’s version, from their [Cost and Financial Aid](http://www.admissions.duke.edu/jump/applying/finaid.asp) section, is:

We admit U.S. citizens and permanent residents without regard to their financial circumstances or aid eligibility, and we meet 100 percent of demonstrated need for these students throughout their undergraduate enrollment. We also meet the full demonstrated financial need for a limited number of foreign citizens, but applying for financial aid does affect the admissions decision for these students because financial resources available to foreign citizens are limited.



Yale’s, from their [International Applications - Financial Aid](http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/financial_aid/international.html) section is:

Yale is fully committed to equality of opportunity. Its need-blind admissions policy extends to international students and ensures that a Yale education will be accessible to all candidates from any part of the world who show great academic and personal promise. An application for financial aid will have no bearing on the Admissions Committee’s decisions, and Yale will meet in full the demonstrated need of any candidate admitted.



So there’s certainly a difference there.
