[quote=Anonymous]Our kid went through this last year. Was finishing up fifth grade at a mediocre DC public school. Very good but not extraordinary student with a nice personality who does well with adults. We make pretty good money but would still need some aid. We did not apply to the so-called Big 3. Kid got into all but one of the well respected privates a tier below them to which we applied, and we were offered some aid, but in our view it wasn’t eneough. The kid was waitlisted at one popular school on this board, and we were flatly told that they would be admitted if they were full pay. In the end, we stuck with public and it’s all good. The lesson we learned was that once you get beyond the Big 3, which we didn’t even consider, it really does come down to money.[/quote]
