[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just under $300k when we applied to well reputed (non-religious) privates for 6th grade.  Tuition was in the 50s on average.  We got a few paltry offers of $10k but mostly nothing.  The one school that waitlisted our kid (who got into the rest) said they’d be admitted if willing to full pay.

We stayed in public. [/quote]

On that income yuo can afford full pay.  That's crazy you expect that much help.[/quote]

That’s not true. That’s $300k before taxes. See my very basic breakdown above.[/quote]

You are free to feel that way.  But $10k is generally the amount that we donate every year.  If I found out (and I wouldn't, but if I did) that the school offered $10k to a family with an HHI of $300k, my contributions would come to a screeching halt.  [/quote]

A lot of schools publicize data like this, and nearly all show a decent chunk of aided families in this income bracket.

At Landon, 27% of aided families have a HHI of over 300k, 13% of whom have HHI over 400k. https://www.landon.net/admission

At Maret, 34% of aided families have a HHI of over 250k. https://www.maret.org/admission/tuition-financial-aid
