[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ pity the people who cant afford the $350 but may have equally well qualified kids don't get in.[/quote]

I don't know how much the reduction is, but GMU offers a reduced fee to children who qualify for free and reduced-price meals - http://cap.gmu.edu/Fee.html. [/quote]

+1 Barring true, documented need, affording or not affording is often a choice of how one wishes to spend one's money -- vacations, cable TV, private school tuition, nice home, designer clothes, helping aging parents, donating to charities, pool membership, new car, WISC. The WISC costs the same or less than a typical children's birthday party at a bounce house, laser tag arena, etc. Less than some iPhones.[/quote]

Yes, but why should parents have to pay for a test that determines their placement in a public schools?  I don't think that parents are talking about choosing between a blowout birthday or a WISC or pool membership (though I know what I'd opt for).  I think some rightly wonder why something optional should be a determining factor in an AAP decision. [/quote]

basically people are buying their way in.  But like the PP said, it's their money to spend as they wish. [/quote]
