[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are only just considering making a switch from public (MCPS) to private for our DD, who would start 9th next year. Considering McLean and SAES.

Can someone provide some realities about Financial Aid? Would we qualify with the following basics:

Two incomes - one $85 and one $150 - so $235 total.
Own home - have a mortgage, but more than half way down on it. Home worth about 800. Did not pay that much, as bought in early 2000s.
One other child, in public (and will stay in it)
Have retirement plans for each parent, 529 plans for each kid, etc. - but probably on the lower side of average for the Bethesda area in terms of what they have in them.
No other real estate or substantial assets.

Thanks. Just trying to get a sense of whether we'd get anything at all before going too far, because 50K seems impossible to cover.[/quote]

Similar profile to you and we get some aid (at DC based private). I believe it is worth applying, see if DD gets in and what aid they offer you. [/quote]
