For medicine, is there really a need to attend a private university for all four years?

Where on Harvard and Yale’s websites does it provide information about need-based grants? Also, why would going to a more prestigious college help in landing grants that are need-based, not merit-based? I’m kind of confused. Could you explain in more detail how an Ivy medical school could be more affordable than one like Baylor? When I did research on this subject, I found that virtually every medical school included a bunch of loans in their aid package.</p>
