[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know how the kids did who are on FA.  I heard a story of a kid a few years ago who was very smart, high test scores but got WL everywhere because they needed too much aid.  We are a FA family and will be joining the Norwood community, and they have been very gracious with the aid, but I am a bit concerned about what happens when child graduates.[/quote]

FYI - if your high achieving child is shut out of a Big 3 or Big 5 because of FA, but gets into another school with FA - they will still get a great education and do well in college.  Unfortunately, you can't always be choosy if you need aid.  (Same is true for college admissions and needing to apply places to get merit aid in case you don't qualify for enough financial aid.) But it's also true that a bright student will make the most of wherever they are.  I know it's hard to see it this way if you get shut out, but it's true.  So apply broadly, but don't judge your child's prospects or even their educational potential purely based on where they are accepted in terms of prestige or ranking.   [/quote]
