[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. We didn’t qualify for aid at any private, even the Ivies.

Full pay everywhere for both kids.

What is your HHI? Ours has hovered from $300-400k[/quote]

You think you should get aid on that income?[/quote]

Of course! lol

I’ll take anything.

It is a little absurd if you make $301k, you are on the hook for $400k vs if you make $250k, all without taking into account some have to live in very high cost living areas/high cost real estate areas because that is where their job industry is.  I never understood why cost of living was never factored into aid calculations.  We all know $300k in SanFran, DC, etc., does not go far like it does in smaller towns.  Two families with drastically different lifestyles.  My sibling literally has a mansion at $300k sticker price, everything cheaper—can’t even get a condo for a family in DC. [/quote]

NP. Of course dmv has high col, but, cmon. You make over 300k. You should have been able to save some and cashflow some. You should not get FA.  We're on 150k in dmv. Inside the beltway.

OP,  some schools are better than others on FA for middle class. Williams is pretty good (but a very hard admit of course). Sounds like you're already doing this,  but use NPC to give you a sense of how home value and 2nd kid factor. Time consuming but worthwhile. FWIW, all of our offers were better than NPC est.[/quote]
