[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many children go to[b] private school with financial aid. [/b] I wouldn't see it as a negative. It should be obvious which ECs mainly just cost money and which ones required hard work. High test scores require hard work and test prep is widely available so calling that "pay to play" is just not accurate.[/quote] I am certain that any kid at an elite private with financial aid would find a way to make that clear. [/quote] How? My kids receive aid at an "elite private". How do i make that clear?[/quote] This can be an easy essay reference - do you not know this? If I were at a Big X private with aid, I’d definitely signal that somehow. I mean - gratitude is an easy one, pride of earning a spot along with support, giving back to community that gave to me… there are so many quick drops of 2 sentences to relay that you are not just another rich kid from a privileged family and school[/quote]
