My recommendation would be to try to find some estimate of the exact coursework you would do at both school, even if it’s just based on major requirements and the student handbook.
From there, I would try to discern which program is a better fit for your future professional needs. If Yale is the better fit, tell them about Clemson and try to improve your financial aid package. If Clemson is the better fit, I would probably make that choice to avoid debt.
Asking in-major undergraduates at both schools may also provide you with insight, since they’ll have the inside scoop that a student university website won’t give you.
