[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys don't get it. The overwhelming number of families at Potomac don't care about the cost. The wealth at that school and others like it is astounding. My kids attend a Big3 school (on some aid) and the average income is easily north of 800K. People don't care about the cost of tuition. They have elaborate houses, fabulous second houses, luxury cars, etc. Paying $50k/year per kid for school is nothing. Most donate a lot of money to the school beyond it. [/quote] I don't care how much money you have. It hurts to think that highly of yourself and then send your kid to a college that accepts 80% of applicants. Anyone denying this is lying. [/quote] Put it in different perspective, for those kids getting into mediocre colleges, if they went to public, result probably would be worse. After all, going to private like Sidwell is more for connection building?[/quote]
