ED at Skidmore

Your daughter’s scores seem to put her above the 75th percentile for both ACT and SAT. As Skidmore has a 36% admission rate for females (according to NCES’s College Navigator), I would not think she would need to so drastically restrict her options as to go ED.

I would recommend using her love for Skidmore as a way to focus her list of colleges, to create a final list of colleges she likes, and which you can afford. Certainly apply to Skidmore–and the application should be easy for her to fill out. She should have no problem demonstrating why it’s a perfect fit.

It would be heartbreaking for her to be unable to attend Skidmore if you couldn’t afford it. As there’s a twin in the mix, do you really want to potentially have to balance one child’s ED love with another’s choices?
