[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just under $300k when we applied to well reputed (non-religious) privates for 6th grade.  Tuition was in the 50s on average.  We got a few paltry offers of $10k but mostly nothing.  The one school that waitlisted our kid (who got into the rest) said they’d be admitted if willing to full pay.

We stayed in public. [/quote]

Thanks for your honesty, but wow. Given that you need financial aid in the first place this seems like a fair amount and savings. We are full pay and I’d love to pay $10k less just because. Honestly, your response is why I don’t contribute to financial aid and earmark our contributions to other school needs that benefit all students and staff. [/quote]

This is why parents view those who use financial aid as swindlers.  The fraud is rampant.[/quote]

That’s an awfully broad brush you are painting with.

Some parents think so. Conveniently, their broad brush sweeps away the MC and low income students who cannot otherwise afford the school.

But you don’t want those kids anyway.
