Bythesea1, I’ll take the opposing viewpoint.

Is Skidmore the only college at which your daughter could thrive? I suspect that’s not true–she could find her niche at many different colleges. I suggest you would do her a great favor by not allowing her to back herself into the mental corner of “Only Skidmore.”

Certainly, she should apply, and she should make clear that it’s her first choice. However, with $40K EFC with two children, you don’t have the financial freedom to take any financial deal that’s offered.
