Once more….need blind affected your admissions. It means your college did not consider your financial need when you were admitted.it has NOTHING to do with your financial aid award.
Yale guarantees to meet full need for all students? So…they have determined you don’t have any more need. Why do you have this shortfall of $18,000 for next year?
You need $18,000?
Again I ask…what was your plan to pay for subsequent years of college? Getting $18,000 in scholarships as a continuing student is going to be a challenge.
And what is Yale’s policy regarding outside scholarships? Will this reduce the need based aid you are receiving from Yale?
