HYS negotiations
Really newbie question, but I wanted to know under what situations HYS would increase their aid packages. I know only one case: when family/personal financial circumstances change. But what about when rival schools give better need offers? How about $$$$ merit offers? I know merit negotiations work for CCN down, but not sure about HYS. Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: HYS negotiations
I go to one of the three and can tell you that Harvard and Yale don't do merit aid. At pretty much all levels of both Universities, aid is need-based only.vzapana wrote:How about $$$$ merit offers?
I'm 99% sure Stanford is need-only as well.
I asked for more money from my school in my sophomore year and they gave me a little, but one of my parents had just been laid off. Not sure how competing need assessments from other schools would effect them. In fact, since it goes through FAFSA/Need Access, need offers should be largely consistent from every school.But what about when rival schools give better need offers?

Yeah dude undergrad and law school are not really comparable at all for financial aid.
However, from what I hear HYS are all need based but are very generous.
