I’m trying to decide whether to let my daughter apply ED to Skidmore - it is a perfect fit for her and by far her first choice after visiting pretty much all the LACs in driving distance of Boston. She has 31 ACT, 2070 SAT, GPA 4.64 out of 5 (unweighted, 3 APs). I should qualify for some finaid (CSS calculator says about $40k EFC - twins - so around 22k each).

I want to optimize her chances of getting into her first choice by going ED at Skidmore, but I’m worried that I am losing the option to compare financial packages.

Thinking of doing another visit to help decide?

Advice appreciated!
