[quote=Anonymous]We actually were in the same position. We applied for two kids and were not sure how we would make it work without some aid but the difference is, OP, we applied for financial aid and made it clear to the FA officials at the schools we applied to that we would need and be applying for aid.  Fortunately we received some money, enough to make it work.  And, yes, we are a six figure combined HHI but we still applied and didn't rely on rumors and innuendo like OP.  It's still a lot of money but it's doable.  Had we not gotten any aid, the DCs would have had to continue in our public middle which is a good school.  They would have been fine with it and actually they did not want to leave the public school but we wanted them to have other opportunities that would not be available in the public school.  At no time did we discuss the money issue with them.  Kids don't really understand that in elementary or middle school.  We felt like that was our issue as parents to figure out. Thankfully it worked out but we reviewed the numbers and openly discussed our situation with the FA officials which includes supporting an elderly grandparent.  I just think OP did not think it through and went into things willy, nilly, which is not wise and very disappointing for her daughter.[/quote]
