Oh, I'm sorry. This makes me a bit sad (not your HHI, but your poor little guy. I think my little guy will be yours in 2 yrs!) Which school?

The fact that STA makes them play a sport during the "interview," was the first sign that STA would not be a good fit for my DS. The fact that all STA boys must wear blazers to school was the second sign. The third sign - the very thin envelope that arrived today. As another poster put it, should have just spent the application/testing fees on a nice brunch somewhere nice.

Holy Crap. It sounds atrocious.

They play a simple game of crab football during the interview. I suppose if you have a boy who starts crying and covering his head terrified of getting hit by the ball, his app would go into the circular file. Big deal, there's a dress code. OOOOh sooooo atrocious! Suck a egg.

No, if you were waitlisted at St Pats you were NOT rejected. Its an absolutely real waitlist. Lots of people got actual rejection letters.

Accepted at GDS and NPS. Waitlisted at Beauvoir. Assume rejected at Maret as the "nos" were mailed today and the "yeses" were mailed yesterday (and our box was empty today). Have not heard from Sidwell.

Did you get a letter or a call from GDS?

[Anonymous]

Where are you getting the information re: Maret that YES' went out before the NO's, just curious is this hard core fact/information or speculation...?

RE: GDS, have heard that all calls were for Sib acceptances, not to anyone who is new to GDS??
