Where else should we look?

Yes…well we are not in the building donatation category. We won’t get finaid as we have 2 incomes in NY area which makes us seem rich, but we have spent all our money on kids and their talent! (Plus cost of non-extravagent house on Long Island.)

We are white and Jewish, so no diversity there. Actually husband’s mother was from Argentina, but we decided not to go down that path, since D’s can barely speak Spanish despite being in honors language track!

We are hoping for merit aid money, so no ED. Older D got $11K from NYU… not counting on merit for artistic D, but don’t want to rule it out by applying ED.

Weslyan gives no merit, so I doubt we will go that route, but may throw it in if they let in lopided kids.

Would consider Skidmore, if talent merit is a possiblility and she has a shot. According to Naviance at our school, no one got accepted without having almost a 94 average. But don’t know if they played up talent.

D is currently upstate in Fredonia in the NYSSSA art prgoram. Hopefully she will come back still loving art and with great portfolio pieces. Then the college search begins…
