[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was really put off by the whole cattle call approach to admissions. There were just way too many people at the tours and at the playdates. I know that they get a lot of applicants but I was much more impressed by Beauvoir who limited the number of applicants right from the beginning by requiring both parents to tour the school and only having a limited number of spaces for the tour. This seemed like a much more humane and realistic approach. Really, how did Sidwell get to know any of the kids that applied? It really seemed like a lottery.[/quote]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  People will complain that Sidwell limited applicants by requiring both parents to tour the school and limiting the number of spaces, or they will complain that there were too many applicants and the whole thing was a cattle call and a lottery.

There are not right choices here, but they seem to try to accommodate and get to know as many applicants as possible.
