[quote=Anonymous]" "Why give more to one sibling than another? If the one worked harder I definitely would." This is a really tough question. Who is to say what working harder means? If S1 has a learning disability and manages a 3.5 uw 4.2 w (so lots of AP classes) GPA with only a 28 ACT score, did they work more or less than S2 who got a 3.5 uw 4.2 w at TJ with a 1580 SAT? What if S1 prepped like crazy and manages a 1500 SAT but only a 3.8 uw GPA and S2 didn't prep at all and got a 1400 SAT but managed a 4.0 uw GPA in the same set of classes. If S1's 1500 gets them into an expensive school that S2's 1400 kept them out of, I'm not sure I would pay even though S1 had a better plan and followed through to make it work. Omg, regurgitating all of the stats for your kids is crazy!" Wow, it's hard to believe even on DCUM that someone thought that any of those stats weren't made up for that poster's example.[/quote]
