[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fine, but it s isn't interesting. 
I'm waiting for someone to post "I spent $250K (or $500K) on a school and it was a huge mistake.

If you can't get good value out of $250K, you are hopeless. [/quote]

[b]Seriously. This thread is basically "I just wanted to post here and let you all know that I'm feeling pretty good about being wealthy and privileged. I considered the alternative, and I really think I came to the right decision to not be poor."[/quote][/b]

LOL.  and college admissions have changed dramatically in the last four years.  [b]Currently, public kids ARE getting in to top colleges more easily than privates because of the anti-elitism, DEI, URM, minority, etc. push of the elite university and college institutions.[/b]  So, while the private system worked for HER, currently, you will see most private counselors will say that statistically the great public student has an edge over the great private student[/quote]

Wishful thinking from a public school parent. That’s not what the facts say. Over representation of elite private school students at elite universities are one of the main reasons they’re elite. Not because there’s an over representation of poor/middle class strivers who need financial aid to attend. The truth stings.

My goodness,  MCPS schools live rent-free in your head. Always trying to measure up to MCPS.  
Several school districts in the area,  but you always post about them.[/quote]
