Odds of getting into Sidwell

[Anonymous]

Maybe athletes to apply but, Sidwell is not offering enough FA to be competitive with the other schools.

Sidwell admissions is an unknown abyss.

Sidwell is as generous with FA as most other schools in the region. It is based on need. They aren't going to toss someone a full ride whose parents make a million dollars a year.

I was seriously asking and I am not the same person who keeps bringing up football. I am asking because one pp said athletes don’t apply.

Athletes should apply, but understand, it is an academics-first school. But there are plenty of serious athletes who go on to play college etc sports. (and yes, the football team could use some help)

I would highly doubt a millionaire would apply for FA.

So could one infer from this statement Sidwell does no recruiting for athletes?

The prospective student-athlete must make first contact, per league rules.

I would assume only kids with high GPAs and etc apply. How can your child stand out? I was told Sidwell doesn’t care if your child is an athlete. How true is this?

Is your family Quaker? Does your family attend Quaker meeting each Sunday? Have you been Quakers for years? Quaker schools came about to educate Quaker children
in the Quaker faith and still do so.

Sorry, but Sidwell does not give much of a boost to Quaker students.

Not true, Quakers are considered with the same priority as legacies and siblings.

Sure. Sure. Have you talked to any real Quakers lately?

Yes, in fact, I have

I'm not PP, but why do rules exist if they're going to be mocked and not enforced?
