I’m sure that Yale will match any offer of aid that Harvard (or any other Ivy) has offered you. Yale wants your son to go to Yale, especially not to Harvard, so they will probably be willing to up your aid offer.

I’d call the financial aid office and tell them about your situation, to see what they can do. It’s only right that your son should be able to explore each school without any external factors altering his decision.
