[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Wootton and Walter Johnson had more MIT acceptances each than Blair.[/quote]

Once again, for those of you in the back:  Half of the Blair magnet class goes to UMD-CP every year, and it's not because they cannot get into HYP and MIT.  It's because their families cannot afford to pay for those schools, and/or because they prefer to save their money for graduate or professional school.[/quote]

Yeah - just not true.[/quote]

HYP is essentially free for moderate income families.  I thought everyone knew this by now?  [/quote]

There is a big gap between what is defined as moderate income and the ability for a family to afford 70k in tuition.  We are a 200K HHI family offered no aid [b]from Ivies [/b]with two kids being in college (one with some merit aid).  Took UMDs honors program/merit aid instead for Blair magnet kid.  Perhaps we should not have saved anything.[/quote]

“From Ivies”? Or from Harvard, Yale and/or Princeton?   They’re not at all the same when it comes to waiving tuition for accepted students [/quote]

Princeton currently gives free tuition to families with a HHI of under 65K...that is pretty moderate for DC area families.[/quote]
