[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It like rats trying to get off a sinking ship. The middle/upper middle class of today will be the working poor of tomorrow, the only way out people see is to get into the an elite school.[/quote] I disagree about the upper middle class, which is essentially has become priced out of elite colleges. Our DCs won't bother applying. They will apply to in state publics and second tier privates that offer merit aid. We can't afford any schools that offer only financial aid.[/quote] My niece is applying to some very good private schools - and she has cast a wide net - and is getting offered various amounts of scholarship money - making some places which they originally thought out of reach - now attainable. They aren't the 'elite' but I say it never hurts to try and see what they will give you...never say never![/quote]
