Cornell does not (more's the pity). HYP are on a separate plane with their aid packages, both for athletes and the student population in general. We have been closing the gap in recent years, but it still exists, and given the difference in endowments (and giving rates) it likely always will.

Um...

Award Matching Initiative

Cornell will commit to increasing grant aid by matching the family contribution components and lower loan level of financial aid offers from other Ivy League schools. Cornell will strive to match family contribution components and lower loan level offers from Stanford, MIT, and Duke as well.

I only knew this because I remember reading Cornell fans that were not in favor of it because it felt like it was only there for sports. Maybe my wording is wrong from how the program actually works though...it wasn't around when I applied to Cornell so I have no idea how it works in practice.

The next Kevin Melrose? :

Per USHR:

6’2”, 192 lb. LD Kevin Guiltinan, a London, Ont. native who played at the Hill Academy last season and will be joining the Vernon Vipers (BCHL) this fall, has committed to Harvard for the fall of ’13 (possibly ’14).

“The London Knights (OHL) draft pick plays an old-time style of hockey — solid defensively, and mean. Kept things simple here, but was physically involved. Not someone you want to have catch you with your head down.” Other schools reported to be in the picture for Guiltinan were Cornell, Princeton, Union, Michigan, and North Dakota.
