Oops, sorry. Yes, I meant to say that I didn’t allow my kids to apply ED anywhere. They had plenty of options in the spring.

And yes you do need to reapply for aid each year, and they want to see the full tax returns from the NCP, or at least they insisted on that when my daughter was there. She almost had to drop out because of that. They simply were not going to write an award until his docs were in. And this wasn’t a problem cropping up in March or April – this was an issue in July & August, when the fall tuition payments were imminent.

Have you visited Barnard? You wrote, “After a long year of searching I’ve decided that Barnard is my number one college”… why? What is about Barnard that is more attractive than all the others? Why do you need to restrict yourself a “number one”?

Applying ED doesn’t mean you will be admitted. If you get rejected in the ED round, you won’t have your top choice either.
