The truth of the matter is that most MCPS students can't afford to attend top colleges, period. That's why many that might have been admitted to top schools ended up attending a school that offered generous merit instead. That's the reality of the haves and have nots.

Yeah, Bethesda and Potomac families who aren't paying private school tuition are totally struggling financially.

PP here. I live in the Churchill cluster, but we send our kids to private. Some of my public school friends can well afford private universities and have sent, are sending their kids to top universities at full pay. But I also have friends whose earnings/financial situation who live in more modest homes here in Potomac and do not have the savings/income to pay $75K a year tuition. These families are opting for Maryland state schools for the most part. One friend's son sent her son to UMCP and he just graduated with an engineering degree and now working for a NASA contractor for $100K a year. Provided you have a smart motivated kid, they will do just fine -- private or public education!!

Yeah but in POTOMAC!

They are donut hole families. Others can qualify for financial aid.

Those who qualify for financial aid are usually disadvantaged in most other ways. Nice try though.

Princeton offer financial aid to families earning up to $300,000 a year. And for any family earning less than $100,000, it's absolutely free. Tuition, room, and board. Several other of the high endowment privates are similar. If you can into these schools, it's going to work. These schools aren't just for the poor and the rich. If you're a stellar middle or upper middle class student, there's space for you at Yale and Pomona and Rice and similar.

Your comment was very snide.

If $100,000 is considered “poor,” you are horribly out of touch.

Are people on this thread are trying to convince us that those who live in the Churchill cluster can’t afford college?

Do you know every student who goes to Churchill?

[Anonymous]

Then tell us, what percentage of Churchill families can’t afford college?

I am interested in seeing the Bullis early acceptances but the students haven’t started posting yet.

Yes, not only that but according to them they aren’t kids of privilege who haven’t paid through the nose with SAT prep, extracurriculars and “packaging”!!!
