[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Sidwell teachers get no discount in tuition if their kids attend Sidwell? They must get a bump in admission though.

No and no.[/quote]

Yes and yes.  They receive a favorable calculation of need in the formula and they receive the highest priority status in the application process.  The outcomes, mentioned here frequently, do not tell the whole story.  With a ratio of five or ten to one applicants to slots at every entry year, of course some faculty children are going to come out on the short end, with some very highly qualified candidates waiting for openings in future years.  You can't compare the outcomes to schools with lower academic requirements and less demand tension.[/quote]

I have personal experience with this.

Yes, children of teachers do have admissions priority assuming they are qualified (but admissions are not guaranteed and children can be and are not admitted), and they definitely do not get a dime in tuition remission.  [/quote]
