<p>Not true! In our D’s case, Princeton gave the better financial aid but H did not match P at all and it might be because she clicked ‘accept’ button without waiting for the answer from H’s financial aid office. In our S’s case, Yale gave the best aid (for some reason, Princeton gave less than H in his case). and H did not match Y but increased amount of financial aid they initially indicated. Since the amount of increase also applies to our D, so it worked out OK for us. So do not assume that H will match offers from other ivies.</p>
