[quote=Anonymous]You should roll the dice and try. Our gross HHI is slightly higher and we receive FA (not from Potomac). We specifically looked for schools that advertised the fact that they give out XX amount of aid per year or XX percent of our students are on aid. We applied to 3 schools and received significant aid offers from 2 in the 'burbs and zero aid from a DC school. It would probably help if your child is a minority and I suspect (though no proof to back it up) that the schools in the 'burbs like McLean, Langley, Potomac and Bethesda have more very wealthy families so folks like us seem poor by comparison. The moral of the story: it doesn't hurt to try. [/quote]
