I think this is OP's situation.  In NYC they are poor but can still afford full pay in college.

You can get financial aid at nyc private high school even though HHI is as high as 800K.

With that income they are certainly full pay for college.  But in OP's private high, they are financial aid kids, and genuinely felt that "distance travelled".  [/quote]

I have a DF whose kids go to Dalton. Their HHI is well above $1 million/year (big law partner) and they have an enormous UES apartment, but it pales in comparison to the mutigen family wealth and/or hedge fund $ of other families. She told me her kids feel poor because they don't own multiple country homes or fly private.

This does not make for a great college essay topic.[/quote]

No. Especially when there are Prep for Prep kids who had real world obstacles to overcome.[/quote]

Prep for Prep doesn't have a strict income cutoff.  Higher income families are required to pay more, not completely free.  But prep for prep can come in anywhere between 0 to 250K.  Some of them can afford college full pay.  [/quote]
