<p>it’s okay, there’s a lot changing with Yale’s financial aid policy so it’s hard to be really up to date. I think you’re a little off, but I’ll point out what I know right here:</p>
<p>first, the Questbridge-Yale scholarship IS broken up along those lines, althought the Yale grant covers most of it. We still do, however, have the same amount of work-study and we also have to pay 25% of total student savings (which I’m pretty sure is exactly what everyone else has to pay.)</p>

<p>also, Yale’s new financial aid policy is that by the year 2008-09, NO STUDENT will have to take out a loan to afford their school. That means that either Yale determines that your parents can afford all of it, some of it, or none of it. The grant, work-study, and student savings cover the rest. </p>
<p>So, really, there is honestly not a big difference between Questbridge and just regular kids on full financial aid. </p>
<p>If my information is incorrect, anyone, please correct me (like I said, it’s hard to keep track), but I’m pretty sure I’ve got it.</p>
<p>So… do you think Questbridge kids will have it rougher just because they’re “Questbridge”, even though the packages are so similar? I mean, I’m sure there are <em>slight</em> differences, but in the grand scope of things, it’s not like Yale is investing so much more in Questbridge kids than in others on financial aid.</p>
