As a Columbia student enjoying the tuition free (?) benefits which are perks of your parents employment, you have a solid reason for wanting to spread your wings in your own manner. Yale, Columbia and, hopefully, your parents will understand. It is your life, but if you require financial aid, it is Yale’s and/or your parent’s money. Even though Yale is need blind for freshmen applicants, I don’t know if it is for transfer applicants with, presumably, advanced standing. Yale may, I don’t really know, think that financial aid for transfer applicants needs to go to those who otherwise would not have an opportunity to study at such an elite school as Yale or Columbia. Best course of action would be to call Yale admissions and ask.
