[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]

I am guessing you are the same poster that assumed we were American. You need to read what people le write carefully before answering.  English is my second language, but I am pretty sure that nowhere in my post I said that we bring more diversity than people with lower HHI. All I said that (in my opinion) we ALSO bring diversity. I never measured (nor I think is possible) how diverse we or anybody else is. Diversity encompasses many things. We are diverse because we bring different languages and cultures. Other people are diverse because of their skin color or lower HHI... I am sure there are many "kinds" of diversity...
I nevr in my post said that I think we are more deserving than anyone else. But if we can apply for aid, why should 't we? Worst thing that can happen is that my Kids won't get aid or won't get accord to a school that we would not be able to afford anyway.
