[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize few people on this board have sympathy for those of us who live in DC (despite the name of the site), but it is really hard to figure out a plan for high-stat kids if you live in the district and aren't extremely wealthy.

Top OOS flagships are really hard to get into (even for top students), and they are almost as costly as top private schools. UVa is almost $80k.

We moved here 20 years ago when the gap between in state and out-of-state wasn't that great, and DC TAG covered a sizable amount of it.[/quote]

It’s not much but even UMC earning up to $500k get that $10k annual DCTAG “scholarship” to help with OOS. It won’t go far at UVA, but will help at a lot of other flagships across the US. Virginia residents have great schools but the good ones are hard to get into. If you have lived in DC for 20 years then you should have a house/condo that has shot up in value, which means you easily have sold and moved to MD or VA and still had an easy commute. So, you probably won’t get too much sympathy here…[/quote]
