[quote=Anonymous]To add to this post -- we got financial aid at an excellent area private school. DC got great coaching in the relevant sport and really strong academics, as well as some opportunities to travel through school with financial aid. The college counseling was great for us -- we'd never even considered a service academy as an option and once they put it on our radar (so to speak) DC was excited about it and is thriving. Many of DC's teachers wrote to DC during the academy's version of basic training when they are cut off from all electronics and phones. DC is grateful to the school and so are we! The occasional mom in jodhpurs making a somewhat condescending remark (probably because I'm blissfully frumpy lol, as opposed to money) didn't outweigh all the positives (including a lot of interesting and funny parents).[/quote]
