[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] At $30k/year tuition, that alone could have afforded a condo or th in burke, no other income involved.[/quote]And just how do you know where PP lives?  This is exactly why I recommend OP let it go instead of dealing with know it alls with cracked crystal balls.  [b]Not everybody wants your lifestyle in a condo in Burke.[[/b]/quote]

Not that PP, but you missed the point. FA is for families that really, really, don't have the money, and that's why they have no college savings, nor can they finance it out of income. FA isn't for families who decided that condos in Burke were bourgie or tacky, so they bought in a cool neighborhood with lousy public schools, sent DC to private at $40K/year, and that's the reason they don't have any college savings. It's sort of like the people on the Private School forum who keep asking, "Our HHI is $300K but the mortgage on our McMansion is huge, so is there any chance we would get FA?" FA doesn't exist to finance lifestyle choices. The FA people in the private schools and private colleges understand this very well. Because colleges want to parse out their FA to low-SES kids, OP needs to be realistic about all of this.[/quote]
