@smcirish my D did YWLI in 2015. Let’s just say it strongly influenced her in regards to college preferences!
@exlibris97 yes Barnard gives good aid compared to, say, a state school out-of-state, but it is all need based. We are in that UMC trap where we have a high EFC and a thin layer of need. So even modest merit aid can save us quite a lot.
