Ariela, my daughter graduated from Barnard in 2010. I am divorced, and the process of reapplying for aid each year was very frustrating, but that was due largely to lack of cooperation from my ex – so it might not apply to you. That being said, I would never have allowed my daughter to apply RD because financially we really did need to compare offers. As it happened Barnard gave her a better offer than other schools which admitted her, with the exception of our in-state publics — but the awards from one school to the next were widely divergent and I would have had no way to evaluate the strength of Barnard’s award without something else to compare it to.
