<p>I will just point out that this isn’t completely apples-to-apples. Harvard’s CDS is two year’s old (2008-2009. Really? Can’t they update this?), Yale’s is 1 year old (2009-2010, could be better, too), and the rest are current (2010-2011). Harvard’s is particularly out-of-step because it covers a year where financial aid decisions were made prior to the economic downturn. Yale’s comes from a year when they were deepest into it.</p>
<p>Here is a H-Y comparison of FA from same-year data (probably 2009-2010).</p>

<p>As discussed, H FA is a little wider but uses more loans to achieve this result.</p>
