[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your comment about the financial stats would be comical if it weren't serious.  We are in the same boat as are many families in the affluent, educated DC metro region.  My husband and I are both professional making decent salaries but because of the "sandwich issue", it would be a financial strain paying for two kids.  I am hoping we can get 10-15K in aid.  Perhaps I am being unrealistic but we have to ask.  Making 250K and beyond is not rich in this area and a lot of families consider themselves need based if they have more than one child in private school.  However, to give our twins the support they need right now and an opportunity for the lightbulb of learning to go off is worth the financial sacrifice.  I don't want to look back three year from now and have regrets about keeping them in public when I should have switched to private.

I have not toured Kingsbury either but I know kids who have gone there and their issues seemed stronger than my kids.  My kids are ADD/ADHD mild to moderate with some processing issues and my daugher may have dysgraphia.  Is this a typical McLean student?[/quote]

Yes, soon there will be jokes about what "kind" of sandwiches we are.  Open faced = two parents dead?  Lots of cheese in the middle = good college trust fund.  I would certainly ask any school you apply to but AFTER you get in.  A mother friend just did that at Flint Hill but pressed so hard on the financial aid issue that they received an outright rejection letter.  Yes, i agree about what you said about Kingsbury.  What you describe are perfect students for McLean - I would ask about the dysgraphia - I don't know if that is one of McLean's fortes.[/quote]
