[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your abuse of the English language is worse than any of these people’s abuse of financial aid. It isn’t “fraud” to apply for financial aid, get an offer of $10k, and turn it down. It isn’t fraud to apply at all. The schools even encourage it.

The commenters here are extremely weird.[/quote]

The fraud is there.  Audit the income tax returns and financial statements/disclosures.  It is there.

Like a church pastor driving a Ferrari.  It is obvious.[/quote]
