Based on personal experience, I have worked with all t5 FA offices for my kids in the past few years.
P is the real No 1 school in the nation, it focuses most resources on the undergraduate students, no school can beat that! H,M,S,Y allocate a big amount of funds to graduate schools.
P is also the most generous for middle class families with 2-W2s. Students gets better aid offers than what they claim to the public. One example, even before the expanded FA announcement this week, first 150k savings was excluded toward the family contributions.
如果把 P 比做一個人的話， 個人覺得算是言而有信的君子。
H on the hand, is very fake, they don't care about middle class students。 H claims more but commit way less. FA is a trap, it's all about making H "looks good". 如果把H擬人話, 他屬於把又當又立玩得爐火純青的翹楚。
Y, M, S 在 P和 H之間。 Y 屬於有錢並且很大方的學校， 搶人的時候， match P的FA 不眨眼。
一家之言，maybe biased due to limited personal experience。
僅就助學金方麵討論，無意褒貶任何學校，不喜歡的請繞道。
