I can’t chance you. I’ll just note that despite being a meets-need school, my daughters have found the NPC for Brown to be quite high compared to many of its peers. Certainly higher than most of the other ivy league schools, but also considerably higher than many of the liberal arts colleges that they considered (for example, Smith, Pomona, Haverford, Williams, Skidmore, Wesleyan, Bowdoin and so forth). All of those schools are affordable based on our family’s data while Brown does not seem to be. However, I really doubt it will make our budget even if she is admitted. So you might have better luck with the estimated cost at some of the other colleges that interest you. I don’t have any real estate though, and my guess is that your mother’s properties are one of the biggest variables raising the price for you. Presumably the other colleges will also take her real estate into account.
