[quote=Anonymous]What would the total cost of tuition a year be if you had to pay in full for both kids? What’s the percentage of your take home income? Are you able to live without feeling a significant burden? Are you wondering about aid just because you may qualify or because you actually need it?

350k for 2 kids at a 65k/yr tuition would absolutely warrant financial aid. If it’s like $30k or less then of course I’d just minimize risk of being turned down and just budget wisely.

Depending on the school’s FA fund and tuition you may or may not qualify for aid. Will this be in the same school the older kid goes to?

Schools say they admit regardless of need but the reality is they have a budget. They can’t admit an excess of applicants that need aid. Horace does say they admit regardless of aid status, I call BS!

A couple of things to consider though. If you don’t apply for aid. Get in and later decide it might be a stretch to have both in private, you will likely not be granted one unless you can prove extenuating circumstances. [/quote]
