[quote=Anonymous]OP - I would apply, but I'd also be honest with your son about what you are willing and not willing to do for HS tuition. I'm not sure how long your son has been at his K-8, but you've likely already made a considerable private school investment for him, and sacrificing college or retirement savings wouldn't be something I'd do, but everyone has to make their own choices. Of course, you run the risk you mentioned - tremendous disappointment with turning down a school you all love because of the costs - but by not applying you guarantee that you will never know if the school would have given you sufficient financial aid, either initially or when you tell them you son cannot attend without more aid.
