<p>Meh . . . I agree that it’s different circumstances . . . however, just because Harvard matches aid for a student’s freshman year does not obligate them to do so in subsequent years. For example, had my son (the Yalie) gone to Harvard, I’m pretty certain Harvard would have matched his FA from Yale for his freshman year. But there’s no guarantee in later years. My point in bringing this up is that although Harvard claims to have the better FA among the Ivies, that’s not always true for every family every year.</p>
