I saw my financial aid package online (on the finaid webiste) about a week ago. I haven't received any snail mail notifications. HMS' package was pretty good for me, or at least better than what Duke offered me (and Duke claims to have really excellent financial aid
).
Where did you look to find your package from Harvard? Did your financial aid page have a "my awards" tab or did you look somewhere else? When where all of your documents received?
Thanks
It's a tough decision to make, and it really depends how much you like the other school compared to HMS and the difference in the expected debt amount. You may be surprised at how much you'll receive in need-based financial aid. One school offered me $40k+ in scholarships, but since Harvard gave me a decent package, the difference is not enough for me to turn down Harvard.
