[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there top area privates that offer merit based aid without reference to need? We make $270k/year (2 feds) and live in a good public school district but would just not be able to rationalize private school tuition without merit based scholarships. Does anyone feel like there is a lack of diversity in that the whole "middle" class range in these private schools (in quotes because I mean middle class for dc standards, ie 2 government employees with no family wealth)? Seems like it's all the very wealthy and the very needy. Doesn't seem like a lot of range/diversity.[/quote] Yup. DC was accepted to a top 3, but we had to turn it down because we (2 feds, similar HHI) didn't see any way we could send DC and DC's younger sibling in a few years. I'm guessing the middle class families in top area privates get a lot of parental help. [/quote]
