<p>soosievt,
I want to thank you for all your posts. You have been so extraordinarily helpful and take so much time to answer so many confused parents and students! So many of your entries have enlightened and helped me. Can I ask how your daughter is liking Tisch this year? And is she fully recovered from her time in the hospital? </p>
<p>I too need the financial aid, and am grateful to have received a very generous offer from Tisch, so it does look like my son will go. However, it’ll be very tight, and I have five children; this son is the oldest. I’m also a single mom, and don’t have any ‘back-up’ (parents, a nest egg somewhere etc.) Not whining–I’m grateful, actually, that America offers such opportunities to nearly everyone; but I am worried, I have to confess.</p>
