[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My goodness, Americans and math. $40k?  [b]Who pays that?  Very few.  Just like private colleges which are right around $60K.  Check the % receiving FA and the average award.  Same with colleges.  The $40k is the starter rate. [/b] If they accept will you actually pay that amount?  It depends.  Some have sloppy cash and don't really care while others are working rich.  Unless your child has some type of athletic talent or is a prodigy of some sort you're stuck.  Kind of sad.  
First you're still paying taxes for public and then you're getting hammered by private school tuition.

You can get accepted by one and then transfer and if you make it known it's about cash you might catch a break.

Colleges are much more amenable and cognizant of that.  
Your child attends for one year and then transfers because 
Of cost of travel.  Make that known and if your DC is a solid upstanding citizen expect to see 25% drop off of your tuition.
Remember, everything is negotiable. You're not actually getting cash you're not being charged as much.[/quote]

You are crazy (aka very few my a$$).  More people at the elite privates pay the full amount than the number of families that get FA or any other assistance.  Plus, few elite privates give any $$ for any type of "prodigy" other than athletic talent and even that is usually under the guise of FA.  A family with a HHI over $300,000-$400,000 isn't going to get any off even if their kid is the best lax player since the Paul Rabill.[/quote]
