Applications to private schools for the 2011-12 cycle

[SAM2]

I created a short survey so people applying to schools can share information with each other about how many schools (and which ones) they are applying to. The survey contains just three questions (grade, number of schools, names of schools). All responses are anonymous, and there is no published cross-reference that might allow others to decipher which particular array of schools anyone applied to. If you want to see what the results will look like before responding, you should be able to click on the response link to see the results. (I seeded the survey with a few fake responses which I will remove later as real responses arrive.)

Please respond only once with all your information. Please respond only if you are applying to schools during this admissions cycle. Please don't litter the survey with fake responses, since that just wastes everyone's time. And please recognize that the responses people post here represent only a small sliver of the applicant pool, so while you may be able to draw some information from the response numbers, use that information with caution.

Here is the survey form:

Here is a summary of the results:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewanalytics?formkey=dGtIZ3FsRU9HcUhFLUZlcXFiT1NKSWc6MQ

If I missed schools where you are applying, please post them here. Also, if people are interested, I will post another survey form in March to summarize admissions results. If you are interested, take a look at last year's results (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewanalytics?formkey=dFFHRklQWDFuOWNaSlMtdlRPd3hORmc6MA) and help me identify any questions that should be added or removed.

Thanks in advance.

Done. Thanks for the reminder.

Could you please add Langley?

And NPS?

And perhaps re-arrange the order so they are alphabetical again? Thanks! This is going to be very helpful.

Langley & NPS added. Sorting the order again will take lots of effort, unfortunately, so a clean sort will have to wait until March.

Still don't see Langley...

I'm not sure how Virginia friendly you want to be but Congressional, Alexandria Country Day and Browne are missing

I didn't see Langley or Flint Hill School but we're applying to both for DD K.

Hmm. That's odd. Must not have saved properly. Will try to add again tonight. List whatever other Virginia schools you want; the more, the merrier.

Actually google docs should be able to sort in seconds by whatever criteria you set: alphabetical and then a few seconds later say display by reverse alphabet. You can change it with a single click

Looks like I've successfully added them all now. PP, I don't see a sort function available for editing a survey form in GoogleDocs; if you can show me where it is, I'd appreciate the help.
