[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well for example, my family works for international organizations, we speak 3 languages at home and I believe we would bring quite a bit of diversity. Our kids are still young, but when the time comes we will probably apply for FA. Our HHI is around 200-250 k. I am not sure we would get much (or anything at all). We are not below the 100k-150k threshold, but we still bring diversity on my opinion...[/quote]
But the diversity that you offer has nothing to do with the fact that your HHI is in the low $200K range.  Are you seriously claiming that those with lower HHIs cannot also provide the same kind of diversity that your family offers?  If not, then what's your point?  Because I'm saying that there are plenty of other families that offer the same kind of "international" diversity as yours, but also provide the additional diversity of a more financially modest background.  These are the families that private schools should be targeting with FA.  Not yours.[/quote]

Plus it sounds like PP works for an international organization, but is American.  I am not sure working for an international organization itself really adds much to the diversity, even if you are teaching your kids foreign languages.[/quote]

Or even if the kids are speaking those languages as natives.

You can't swing a cat in DC without hitting a family like this.  Ho-hum.

Diversity my ass.[/quote]
