Finally got access! Happy with the award (came out nearly the same as Yale's). If everything checks out at ASW, then SLS it is :D

Yay!! How exciting for you! :D

also good to know that the two were comparable, I've been curious about how HYS compare in grant aid.

I remember reading somewhere that Stanford has a minimum amount it requires all students to take out in loans. Does anyone know the link to this, or did I imagine this up? I just wanted to get a relative feel for my aid package. I already looked at the 509 btw. Thanks.

Looks like it's $40,000
Note it's a minimum $40,000 in self help, not in loans. Some of that $40k can be covered via earnings, e.g., via TAships or RAships.

My debt at the end of 3 years was less than the cumulative minimum self help figure due to income etc.
