NYU is the school she cares least about and won’t mind a bit if it’s cost prohibitive. She’s ok with the idea of going to Chapel Hill and will probably get in. We looked at Bryn Mawr and a number of other places but she decided that if she couldn’t be in NY then she didn’t see the point in paying out of state rates. It’s where she wants to live when she graduates. There aren’t any other NYC colleges that float her boat, nor any other NC schools that she needs to consider. She may decide to drop NYU on her own but other than that, her list is sealed.

We have absolutely never hinted that we will find a way to make it work and she knows that. We have the resources to send her, and her sister, to a UNC school without making them take out loans. Anything above that will be the topic of a meeting with our financial advisor who manages our retirement and has built college expenses into his model of our future.

As Henny Youngman said, I have enough money to last me the rest of my life. Unless I want to buy something.

Thank you for your time! Your cat is adorable.
