[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP apply to the school's you like and apply for aid. There are one too many FA haters on this board who have nothing better to do but tell you what's not possible. #250KHHItwokidsandreceiving50%FA [/quote]

I agree with this poster. OP, apply for aid and you will be pleasantly surprised. Our HHI is 250 as well with both spouses working and we receive $15k in aid for 2 kids. Annual tuition is 56k for 2 kids. [b]We could make it work without the aid, but the aid allows us some breathing room.[/b] I truly believe everyone with hhi of 350k or less should apply for aid. The schools recognize that these tuitions are ridiculous even for those who make a ton of money. [/quote]

Such entitlement. You do know you are taking it away from the truly needy, right? [/quote]

What truly needy? Lol. I seriously doubt your statement is correct. Show me the truly needy family that applied and didn't get any? Chances are the truly needy they admitted is getting 97% FA and this poster is probably getting a much smaller percentage, but a percentage that helps. I think you are bit delusional about who is exactly applying to private school. LOL[/quote]

If the truly needy aren't applying, the schools should be out recruiting.  Otherwise, what exactly IS their mission?  We "provide good educational options to people who would have gotten a pretty good education anyway"[/quote]

There are several post of people saying that they needed too much aid and the school awarded zero even though DC got in. In most cases FA is a gap pay, maybe in high school you have a super star with a full ride but that's not how the funds are allocated from what I have seen. [/quote]
