[quote=Anonymous]NCS was $18K tuition in 1992. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $30.6K in 2015 dollars. Went to HS in this area back in the day. Did see many children of "famous for DC" parents get some sort of college boost - but mostly by working connections of getting their friends with strong ties to colleges/universities to write recs, make calls, pull strings -- or they already had some sort of legacy tie that their status helped inflate their kid's status significantly. ie. many of those kids 'jump the line' over kids with higher GPAs/SATs/APs/special accomplishments. But it's hard to measure directly. And of course, money/contributions by families helps always too. [/quote]
