[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about non minority kid who needs financial aid. Any chances...top scores and grades[/quote] There's always a chance, but TBH your kid would have to have some powerful other hook - i.e. athletics or an exceptional talent in something (like has won Julliard musical competition) - in order to get FA. Not fair at all,[b] but Sidwell tends to reserve FA for kids URMs. [/b] [/quote] This is not my experience. Citation?[/quote] Observation across a number of years. Fewer white kids who need FA admitted than URMs who need FA. There are plenty of white kids with good grades and scores who can pay full tuition. [/quote] So you know the financial status of every family and who received FA and who doesn't?[/quote]
