[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong, merit aid is plentiful for the top kids, whether public or private. Both my DDs National Merit Semifinalists/finalists and were offered full scholarships to all sorts of schools (granted mostly not ones they had any interest in, but did include places like University of Georgia and other large state schools and some middling privates, which seemed odd to me) and significant merit awards ($10-20,000) from even some pretty excellent colleges such as Oberlin, Emory, Tulane.  Hard to predict whether you kids will test well enough to end up in this category, but if do in really top percentiles on ERBs or SSATs or whatever, may be worth considering.  If your public HS options are not great, would consider a top private for HS, since the writing instruction, course selection and support in the college application process is much stronger than most publics.

I'm the poster who said go with private high school, and this was exactly our experience with merit aid.   [/quote]
