[quote=Anonymous]Please ignore the snarky comments OP. If you want to send your daughter to private school, go for it. We were in a similar situation years ago and got FA and put our 3 kids through private school (along with 30 percent of the school). You are a perfect candidate for aid. There are some real haters on here who are very anti FA except for those people they think are exceptionally poor and somehow "deserve" it. What they don't get is that schools want economic diversity, not just super rich and super poor, as do many of the parents. In addition, schools have a tough time recruiting very poor kids and sometimes have a tough time with retention. Socially it can be somewhat challenging to be surrounded by rich people and of course the wider the divide financially, the more challenging. It's manageable, but these are some of the reasons schools want economic diversity to include middle class.

It really bothers me that people say you should stick to public school and/or that you don't deserve FA. IGNORE them. What happened to the American dream? If you want private school for your child, apply for FA and know that the schools want to help you out.[/quote]
