[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't apply if you can't afford it It's not going to get easier to say no once she has an acceptance in hand. Same goes for college. Also, no private school is worth decreasing or stopping retirement contributions unless you have a special needs child who needs a specialized setting. The bells and whistles of the mainstream privates are not worth this. They all have their major flaws and frustrations which ebb and flow over the years. I say this as a parent to two kids at Big3 schools. [/quote] Oh yeah, Ms Big3? I guess there aren't any students at your school getting aid and attending? Would you have advised them not to have even applied in the first place?[/quote] DP, but if sacrificing needed retirement savings is the price for the child attending, even with financial aid, and they knew that before applying, then, yes, that's what I would have advised them.[/quote]
