If Barnard’s your daughter’s top choice, I would highly, highly recommend that you apply ED, but only if ALL of the following are true:
- Your daughter LOVES Barnard and would 110% attend if admitted.
- She's confident she can present a well thought out and crafted application by the ED deadline, which is typically November 1st.
- Your family can afford Barnard if admitted (run the financial aid calculators if applicable.)
