[quote=Anonymous]Our DC was admitted to two of STA/NCS, GDS, and Sidwell for upper school and we are trying to understand what is the total tranche of funds to sequester for the four years to cover the cost of attendance.   Is there an annual expected additional planned giving amount or expected donation at the Big3 schools that we need to include in our funding tranche to cover the full cost of attendance for the next 4 years?  I don't have a good sense of the culture with respect to what is actually expected or "voluntarily" required (assuming that this is distinct from self-initiating truly voluntary giving if we were so inspired to do so at the some point in the future).

Is the answer difference and specific to each particular Big3 or similar school, i.e. GDS versus NCS versus STA versus Potomac etc...?

Any experiences from families who currently attend DC privates would be welcome.

Do you think the giving amount impacts the students' experience at the school?  Do the faculty/teachers know how much the family has given?  Do the counselors (academic, college, etc...) treat you differently once you have donated??
