They admit a class a students and figure out the finances later - luxury of a giant endowment, I guess. They make an assessment of how much each student and his/her parents can pay by examining tax returns, and then arrange to make up the difference with loans (with some cap, was $10K/year or so in the '80s) and then outright grants. One works on campus for spending money. So no one should not attend Harvard undergrad for lack of funds. Nice institution that way.
