[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you expecting aid? I'm unclear why you applied?[/quote]

We never applied for financial aid.  I don't think we would have qualified (i.e. lot of equity, savings stocks etc)

Initially I was looking at other options outside of public school.  We thought we could afford it.  However, as we starting adding up all our expenses it seems we can do it but we will be very tight financially.[/quote]

Sorry OP, why didn't you go through your finances before making your daughter go through all the motions to get accepted???? I don't get it. I'm sure you know a ball park figure of how much school was going to cost $12k or $30k.

Your daughter has a right to be upset, she worked hard and you set her up![/quote]

Seriously? There are posts on this forum all the time from people who are 1 or more years into private school and realize that the finances just aren't working for them. People *think* they can swing it, and then when they really take a good hard look, they realize it cuts too close to the bone for them. I think it is great that OP realized it NOW as opposed to 2 years from now.[/quote]
