[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IDK but we make close to 300k and aren’t sending our kids to private schools because we think the tuition is ridiculous![/quote]

You looked at the wrong privates. At that income (for the strong student) there are many privates that will discount well below the public school cost. Not the top 30 schools but solid colleges in the top 100. [/quote]

Please enlighten me.  Sone schools we briefly considered were Wakeforest, Emory,  Tulane, and Lafayette, Washington and Lee and Lafayette. From everything we could see, we would be full pay. It’s not worth it when our in-state option is probably UVA and/or William and Mary.[/quote]

You just named a bunch of elite colleges. If that’s your category then no, not a lot of merit there. LACs in the forties-sixties give lots. My B+ kid got merit in the $25-45k range at several, making them comparable and occasionally cheaper than public options. If your kid is a UVA candidate there are lots of LACs that would pay to have an excellent student like that. Higher up, Richmond’s top awards are generous. W&L’s Johnson is a free education.
