[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you get accepted at both schools your child will be able to revisit the schools to determine which is best for them.[/quote]
Highly doubt that this is actually possible.  Sounds like OP is coming from another private, in which case they'd likely be declaring a first choice before decisions are made so that their current school's outplacement team can lobby hard for that choice accordingly, essentially conceding admission to the second choice.  My sense is that the ability to choose between Sidwell and GDS after having been admitted to both is a near-mythical situation that very few applicants likely enjoy in any given year.[/quote]

It does happen and probably more than a mythical few. My DD is a new 9th grader at GDS. She didn't apply to Sidwell but ended up choosing between GDS and NCS; the others she got into weren't a factor. A number of her new classmates were choosing between GDS and Sidwell. Some of the kids at the welcome events at both GDS and NCS that we met chose Sidwell.[/quote]
