No aid for us I assume?

What is your income and expenses? It sounds like you cannot afford on in private let alone three.

$300k+ HHI One paid off car, $3000 mortgage, house is worth $600k

$300k plus? Personally I hope not, but I don’t know.

You want aid with that much income?

PP had 3 kids. With one kid, def not tho

Even with 3. I get that it would be very hard to afford 3…. But most people cannot afford private school. It seems like a crazy income bracket to qualify for aid.

So they're supposed to pay $165K out of $300K pre-tax?
Lol.
So let's say they take home $200K (which is about reality on a $300K income). Then they live off $35K and pay $165K to the school?

My sense at our school is that they would not offer aid for kid1 or kid2, but then when kid 3 applied they might offer aid.

At that income they could pay for 2 lower school tuitions, and maybe up to $100K in tuition for 3. Yes, it’s tight but the point is that private school is a luxury and they are picking this luxury over other ones.
