[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are putting the cart before the horse - depending on the grade your child will enter there may be no spaces available or their could be competition for those spaces. [/quote]

I don't want to get into details, but please be assured that we've thought through this and have reason to believe that our kids are extremely viable candidates. Nothing is guaranteed, but they have a great shot this year. Nonetheless, we don't want to put them through testing and visits etc unless we're pretty sure we want to push this through. The perspectives have been interesting so far. Please keep it coming.

Yeah, here's the thing - there are maybe one or two slots for grades past K and there are more parents then you who believe they have the holy grail that gets them in. Unless the Admissions director sent you a letter that says" congrats, your kids are in" you are not "in" no matter what you believe.

And as far as "I want diversity" - whatever. That is so tired.  These schools might have children with different skin color but they are all from the same kind of home and family - over acheiving parents who want the best for their child academically and socially. If you want true diversity get your kid involved in activites outside your comfort zone. Find classes, sports, groups, etc that meet somewhere besides Bethesda.[/quote]
