[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even Sidwell etc. have to admit twice as many kids as they have spaces, because they all know that top applicants will apply to multiple schools and have multiple choices. Schools like Sidwell may admit 2 kids for every seat they want to fill. Less selective schools may admit 3 or 4 or five kids for every seat they want to fill. Self-selection also matters. Some schools have very high yield rates because they occupy more specialized niches, so they may not get a ton of applications, but a high percentage of applicants are committed to attending. That said it is late January so all we can do no is sit back and cross fingers![/quote] Sidwell does not admit 2 kids for every space. No idea where you get that idea. Not even close.[/quote]
