[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most expensive schools will be even less diverse as only the wealthy will be able to afford the tuition and annual tuition increases. Not that that is a bad thing for most wealthy families or, by extension, the schools. That’s where they are already headed. [/quote]

It's this. Our [b]small private[/b] has not been impacted over the past couple years with impacts via Trump/DOGE etc and in fact our wait list has increased. There will always be those who can afford it, but the impacts will be less diversity.[/quote]

There is no "small private" in the DMV that is considered a top tier school and highly in demand with waitlists. Just so we're clear. The ones that are competitive - Sidwell, GDS, Prep, Holton, and that class of schools do not contain any small privates. [/quote]

Disagree. I think there are many schools that are both small and top tier in the DMV.  To name a few I would consider Maret, WIS, Green Acres, and Primary Day are all small top tier private school that all have large waitlists (and rejections).[/quote]
It seems unlikely to me that WIS will see too much of an impact.  Not sure about the other schools on that list.[/quote]

Yes, the PP said that these small top tier privates were seeing an increase in the number on their waitlist.  A respondent said there were no highly in demand small top tier schools.  So I was listing a few.  All those that I named are small in demand top tier schools with thick waitlists.[/quote]
