Ivy League Financial Aid

Paying for College
1

<p>How does the ivy league rank in terms of financial aid? Also include Duke and Stanford.</p>

<p>Here’s my guess

  1. Harvard
  2. Princeton
  3. Stanford
  4. Yale
  5. Columbia.
  6. UPenn
  7. Cornell
  8. Brown
  9. Duke</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>

<p>Also, how likely are Duke and Brown to change their finacial aid package if you get a better financial aid package from another ivy.</p>

<p>We found Brown to be extremely helpful in reviewing and upgrading the financial aid package after reviewing the package from another Ivie. And they kept up that aid for the second year as well.</p>

<p>Well your first hurdle will be to gain acceptance to one of those highly competitive schools. Once that is accomplished, I believe they do meet your need using the institutional methodology (all require the Profile and the FAFSA). These schools give need based aid only (I think Duke has a couple of merit awards, but the others do not).</p>
