<p>I don’t think some of these comments were in the best interest of hz__paula, who asked for some advice. Anecdotal comments about how a faher fenagled more money is not the question. My advice -if you think Smith is your first choice (or would make a good choice for your college) by all means apply ED! From your information you are well qualified…and I think Smith would be a great school for you. Smith guarantees they will meet your financial aid if accepted so let that be your guide. Apply ED!</p>
<p>As for this forum - I think DADs (and Moms) should join a parents forum. Their comments are porly directed and I wonder what their kids think to let their parents get so involved in their college experience. Let the Smith students and alums answer the questions - and that way the parents get meet online to discuss issues in a way (and with the verbage)only parents can!</p>
