Yeah— she was working for half of the year, causing her salary on the W-2 to be including that income as opposed to just the pension she is making currently.
Hey I just wanna say that you sound like a profoundly cool human. You’re getting very good, very direct feedback from an expert crowd and rolling with it.
Also, it sounds like you went through a very challenging few years and I am sorry for the mental health struggles.
IMO given the uniqueness of your circumstances, you are right to cast a wide net, as it’s going to be a bit tricky to predict how admissions will view your application. I would limit the number of high reaches (where almost no one gets in,) but not artificially narrow the list otherwise.
Anyway, just want to share a few possible ideas for your list:
- Goucher College
- St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM)
- University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNCA) (I know you don’t want the south but Asheville)

ED would increase your chances at Macalester substantially.
