If you are that poor you would qualify for a full ride. 
Why would you not take it if offered? [/quote]

I am poor by DCUM standards and I got nada from private schools although my kid was admitted. They basically said I needed too much FA. [/quote]

Sorry, then you are not poor enough.[/quote]

Wrong, they just didn't have the funds to give away, happens more often in the primary years than for high school for instance. [/quote]

They did say to apply again for HS since they have more aid available then. Our HHI is appr. $75K. [/quote]

I would really encourage you to reapply if you still believe the private school hype. 
In a way I feel they are buying superior grades at that level instead of grooming/ producing it themselves. Think hard if you want your child do be used this way, but for free ride maybe. [/quote]

Could you explain what you mean?  By hype do you mean that the education is the same as public school?  [/quote]

Must be a private school hater. Not all private schools are better than public schools and not all public schools are better than private schools. I think my DD school absolutely lives up to the hype and I wouldn't make any other decision about where to send her.[/quote]

Not a private school hater, but these are my observations.  Fwiw, I have two great kids in a top tier private school with some FA. [/quote]
