[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]princeton offered us 70k, harvard offered us 20k, stanford offered us 30k. yale matched princeton, but offered us about 35k at first. mit also matched princeton, offered 40k at first. harvard and stanford declined to match. [/quote]

Did your DC go to one of the schools matched the offer? I always wonder what happens to years 2 - 4: does the school keep the aid level similar to the match, or does it go up closer to the original offer?[/quote]

yes, he ultimately chose one of the more generous schools. we also have a daughter (incoming junior) at princeton, so i honestly have the same question that you have, especially for after she graduates (since the schools take into consideration how many kids you have into college). a bit scared for what the bill will look like once she graduates but the finaid office told us that they had marked the specific adjusted formula they used to calculate my youngest’s need and would continue to use that after she graduates.

im still really shocked by how generous princeton is. truly a fantastic school that deeply cares about its students and their families. also surprised by yale. they matched pton in a heartbeat, no questions asked. other schools made it such a hassle and many didnt even match at the end of the day (looking at you, harvard). have some pretty awesome kids[/quote]
