[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess we would be the nearly destitute people you mention OP (at least in this area we are). My DS was accepted to some independent schools but since we required too much FA, he couldn’t accept. How many really “poor” students attend these schools?[/quote]

OP here. Sorry to hear that. That really sucks. Hoped they were at least giving it to low SES applicants. So they really just aren’t giving it away at all. I guess the reality is we just weren’t strong enough. But it always feels like there would be more opportunities if we had more money. [/quote]
Sorry to break it to you, but that’s life. Everyone will have more opportunities if they have more money. Houses, cars, food, vacations, clothes, entertainment. You want more choices/opportunities to purchase those items? You need more money.

I’m sure your kid is a great kid and will have a bright future but be objective for a second. Is your kid really that much more special than all the other amazing kids out there to justify giving her a full ride scholarship that she will probably need for 13 years? I’m going to say no (and before you get all bent out of shape, I would say the same about my own really great kids).

Private schools are a luxury item. Move to a good enough school and encourage learning at home too. She’ll be fine.[/quote]
