Quite the understatement. Harvard/Yale/Stanford don't do merit-aid scholarships so you would have to be super poor to get some financial aid and even then isn't likely to be a full-ride.
wow impressive! i wrote a hasty PS in december trying to get in by the priority deadline of my school so i could be considered for scholarships... was to engulfed in studying! if i dont get in i'll be taking full advantage of this for next year!
You should be fine for HYS. Typically people recommend applying early for primarily scholarships as there is a larger pool of $$$ in the fall. But in the case of HYS, they only do financial aid so you applying in January will be fine. Good luck!
... am aiming at potentially getting scholarships at Tier 2 schools.. if ... concerned it would affect potential scholarships... any thoughts on that? Perhaps ...
