[quote=Anonymous]We applied to five schools for our daughter (we had no connections to any of the schools). She was admitted to four out of five (and 'waitlisted' at Sidwell). She ended up going to the school (BVR) that was our number one choice.

As parents, we only interviewed at 3/5 of them (including BVR- which was an elective interview) and she went on playdates at all of them. We had a range of experiences with playdates - some were incredibly thoughtful in terms of setting them up in a child-friendly manner and others didn't do a great job of creating a comfortable space. The process was fairly consuming but straightforward.

We've had an absolutely wonderful experience at Beauvoir. The entire school knows her name, are very responsive to all of the kids and create a truly welcoming space. I'd say about 35 percent of the children we've met have an older sibling or other familial connection (i.e. their parents or cousins went there), 5 percent are faculty children, and the remaining 60 percent are not connected to the school. This is just based on who we've met  so far - so it might not reflect the actual data.

Good luck!
