<p>Harvard initially offered me $6000. Yale - nothing. I scanned and e-mailed the Harvard offer, and within 2 days Yale had offered over $5000, making the bottom line at the 3 schools within about $150 of each other. They also asked for my 2006 tax returns, though I had already sent them. After I told them they had already sent them, they found them. So it’s possible my award was changed b/c of the tax return, but I’m sure the Harvard award helped!</p>
