Thanks and this board helped us a lot in terms of understanding lot of school rules. I truly appreciate everyone input.

Actually, we have told many parents whose kids are on full financial aid in different prep school about this site. You would be surprised that how many parents are not even aware about so many things about college admissions in spite their kids are attending prep school on full aids. The number one problems are language barriers as lot of them are immigrants or not having resources (in case coming from urban school districts) to come and ask questions. Sometime parents are apprehensive to ask the questions, as they feel scared to ask. This coming year you will see many parents (May 20-30) logging in to get familiar with college admissions. This is because all of the reputed prep schools are recruiting heavily lot of kids with high academic achievement but limited financial resources. I would say any kid who need fin aid and have better academic records need to go to prep school (provided they want to go). The learning environment is very different, wonderful and supportive. This site is very helpful for parents with limited financial resources but high achieving kids
