<p>Sorry GolfFather! I’ll get your username right from now on. :)</p>
<p>In the financial realm, know that my family has negative assets in spite of a middle class income. I won’t qualify for fee waivers or full-ride financial grants, but at the same time my family can contribute very little. Hence dismissing Oberlin (I’d prefer Kenyon anyway) and Carleton (cost of attendance after an average financial grant: $26,000/year).</p>
<p>Still, thanks so much momrath for suggesting Windows on Williams. The priority deadline has long passed, but I’m seriously considering putting forth an application in time for the final deadline!</p>
<p>I’ve gotten a lot of plugs for Vassar, 1190, and from what I understand I have very good chances of getting in. Vassar’s history as an all-women’s college means that many more females apply than males, so men benefit from a higher acceptance rate. As one of the more financially generous LACs, it’s definitely going on my list! Thanks also for your other leads.</p>
<p>Arcadia, I’m sure I’ll find your links helpful when I explore them in more detail. However, I’m favoring some more generous LACs over Middlebury now, but if it’s the right fit then it’s the right fit! :)</p>
