<p>I have somewhat of a similar problem, though less extreme (a problem nonetheless!)</p>
<p>My EFC from the FAFSA reported approximately 15k or so, and at Harvard, my parents are expected to pay 16k a year (totally fine with that!). Yale’s expecting ~22k a year, while Princeton is expecting ~28k or so. </p>
<p>Until I received my Harvard FA information, I had been leaning towards Yale, and although I still am 60/40 in favor of Yale, but the extra 5k a year does change up the decision. </p>
<p>Seeing as I’ve gotten into HYP, would I have any leverage to perhaps ask for Yale to match Harvard’s aid scholarship? (I also have a Likely Letter from Yale, if that helps)</p>
<p>I’ve heard stories about people leveraging different schools to get free plane tickets for admit days, but I consider them to be just stories. Your thoughts on my situation?</p>
<p>Edit: Whoa, I didn’t realize how much of a brat I sounded until I read solar18’s appeal thread. I apologize in advance for sounding like some whiny kid!</p>
