[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't file for FA, they'll assume you can pay for it.  They also won't know anything about your HHI, as the FA application is the only place you'd divulge it.

On the other hand, if the grandparents are likely to be involved, make big donations, have a compelling name association, or otherwise help your cause, maybe have one of them tour the school with you?  I know another family in your situation that did this.  I'm sure they'd like to know where their money is going anyway.

I definitely would advise against having the big-cheese grandparent go with you on the tour. It's usually just the parent(s) and the applicant. Any more persons, and it begans to look weird. Trotting out the influential or rich grandparents would be just too unsubtle. But I have been on tours where people did tacky things. Like the father who asked how much money was needed to complete a current renovation project, implying that he could and would complete the project if his child got in. I never saw that man again, so I assume his child was not admitted into my child's class at this school.
