Since they're peer schools, you seem to like Yale better, and you're interested in social impact/non-profit, I would go to Yale. Quarter ride isn't that much in the long run. If you want to be in the northwest, I'm surprised you didn't apply to UCLA or even UW. I don't think there are many people from Yale or Duke in the PNW.

Thanks for the response. I live in the Southwest and wanted to know what East Coast life is like, plus I wanted to go to a high ranking school not in a big city.... UWs was on my list but, well, rankings.

One thing you may want to consider is that Yale has loan forgiveness for people who go into non-profit fields, so the difference between a scholarship and no scholarship may be diminished quite a bit if you go into a lower paying field.
