If you’re interested in an Ivy education for your child and you’re full pay, then you should consider the flexibility offered by Columbia GS (and maybe UPenn’s LPS). GS says that they want a gap in the child’s education but that gap can be quite small. I’ve known people who have gapped for as little as 6 months. GS allows the student to take fewer than 4 classes, for example, to start and stop as they need to. It’s much more flexible and it is the same education as with Columbia U’s Columbia College. Check UPenn as well for their requirements. GS and Penn LPS offer some FA but it’s much less than with their other undergraduate colleges.

NYU has Gallatin which allows a lot of flexibility too.
