^ Columbia and Penn gave essentially the same financial aid package.

Just so you know, by applying RD and being able to compare packages (and having colleges match the better FA offers), my D was able to make her acceptance decision based on which school she like best NOT which school gave the best FA. She is now a very happy student at Brown with the same FA package as she received at Columbia/Penn.

I’m not sure I understand why you are applying ED if you need FA.
