Hi,
Does anybody have good estimates for the type/amount of financial aid I would receive at HLS with a household income around 55k?
Thanks in advance.

That's hilarious. My family's household income is 25K, and CCN gave me only $20K a year, and then lowballed me for 3L. Really should have studied harder for the LSAT.

You'd likely get the highest amount of financial aid - so whatever tuition minus base loan package is.

Jumping off of this, is student income and parent income weighted equally?

I'm not sure what the cost would be exactly for your situation, however, after reading HLS website and if I understand correctly, they predict that the overall students budget for cost of attendance is $95k, so the most they would ever give any student would be $45k grant and a $50k base loan loan, so if someone is in the perfect situation where they can live at a relatives for free while attending and eat for free and already have health insurance, the lowest they would have to pay would be around $23k a year through a loan (after $45k grant) just to cover tuition, however, if you aren't able to live in Boston for free, you'll have to add rent on-top of that $23k loan. All Harvard does is give a grant to whatever the need is that they calculate after the $50k base loan. If they calculate your need to be under the $50k base loan, you get no grant and just get whatever the need is in the form of a loan.

This is not true, as it is possible to increase the student budget due to things like medical expenses or having children. With a child, for example, you could increase the student budget such that full tuition or very nearly full tuition grant is possible.
