Is Brown as generous with financial aid as other Ivies?

If your student is super-interested in Brown, I would suggest applying anyhow and then taking to financial aid officer after admittance, especially if your kid has another admittance with better financial aid from another Ivy or MIT or Stanford (peer schools).

I agree with this. We have friends who were able to get a better offer. Brown didn’t meet the Princeton offer (you just can’t expect that, as I said, the math just doesn’t work), but they made it low enough that the student was able to make it work and did choose Brown over Princeton.
