Should I apply to other schools?

If you (your family) can’t afford Harvard and you’re unsure of what you’re likely to get based on the net price calculator, then that’s a good reason to apply to other schools.

However, if you’re comfortable with what you’ll get and your family’s financial resources to support your Harvard education, I’d think twice. That’s because you’re likely to get accepted to other Ivy League schools, and if you don’t go, you’re taking a spot from someone who wants it a lot more that you do. Frankly, that’s selfish. You’re in Harvard! Pat yourself on the back on a job well done. There’s no reason to go anywhere else, or even try.
