I am wondering how others with a Financial Aid package from Skidmore are viewing the offer.

My DD received what we consider to be a very nice offer from Skidmore for her freshman year. The problem is that all the other schools she is considering have offered her a 4 year scholarship with a guarentee. While Skidmore looks good today, the 4 year projection doesn’t look so good. We confirmed this with a call to the financial aid office. In 4 years, the Skidmore financial aid package will change when her older brother leaves college, but she will have a younger sister behind her a year later.

Do others see going to Skidmore with financial aid risky. I know that Skidmore doesn’t offer any scholarships and this could become a problem.
