You have done a great job in terms of your original FAQ post, your willingness to add and amend as necessary, and your incredibly polite responses to many of the responsive posts that were less than balanced in tone (and that is an understatement). I am really sorry that you had to come in for such abuse, but please know your efforts are appreciated by many. If it's any consolation, the responsive posts certainly validated your conclusions as to which subjects are controversial! (Now anybody starting a thread on "what schools are in the Big 3" MUST be looking for an argument!) Again, kudos and thanks.

Hello-

I just saw this posting and wanted to see about getting my school, Seneca Academy listed on the Private School Database you already started a few years ago. Has there been a new one created?

Thank you.

Happy to update any dated sections, but I have a full-time job and a demanding family, and this is just an amusing hobby for me. If you research and summarize relevant information, I'm happy to incorporate it into the FAQ so it helps everyone. At the very least, if you point out specifically what needs updating, then maybe I or someone else will have time to do the work.

Does anyone know what the current Acceptance Ratw and yield is at Potomac?

Seems this thread is outdated and has lost its utility, meaning it shouldn’t be a sticky anymore.

Anyone have an idea as to what WISC scores schools are looking for in the Big 3? 135+?
