<p>Does anyone know the amount of aid given prospective students from the middle to upper middle class range? Is there any at all. I know that it varies from case to case but some examples would be helpful.</p>
<p>It is based on the FAFSA and the CSS profile. Both have calculators you can run with your data.</p>
<p>I suppose i would fall into upper middle class. I will be getting 30 k per year, but thats also thanks to the yale tuition benefit program. I think it would be closer to 20 k without that.</p>
<p>can you give me specifics like your families in come. And what is the yale tutition benefit program?</p>
<p>I dont feel like giving specifics. Im sure you can find other people’s online. The yale tuition benefit program is for people who’s parents worked for yale for like 4 years or something. They up to 11k per year but it’s less if you’re getting other financial aid.</p>
<p>I also don’t feel like talking about my family’s specific financial circumstances, but here’s some background. I am a student on financial aid, and my family would be classified as middle/upper-middle class, I guess. While the aid is never <em>enough</em> (heh), I feel that it is generally fair for most students. You can maximize your leverage by applying to decent number of schools so that you can compare financial aid packages. For example, I was going to major in biomedical engineering and was looking seriously at Johns Hopkins (#1 for undergrad BME, etc.) until I got their financial aid package, which was quite lackluster. If something like this were to happen to you, you can always call the financial aid dept. up on the phone and tell them that you get a better package from a peer institution, etc. They’ll usually match another school’s fin. aid package if it’s reasonable.</p>
<p>I know you don;t want to give me specifics about ur family but can you give me specifics about the financial aid package</p>
<p>Also what were your stats when u applied (I;m a bit obsessed with comparisons)</p>
