[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re applying to schools like Potomac, GDS, & Maret, can you get shut out for 9th grade admissions? Assuming full pay, smart but not genius, potential varsity athlete but not recruited level, & no real hooks. Trying to decide if it makes sense to apply 6th/7th grade, but would prefer to wait till 9th grade.[/quote] Of course you can. You can also get shut out on 6th/7th. These are very competitive schools. Are these schools "reaches" for your child in terms of their grades? Is your child going to have stellar teacher recommendations or will they be good, but not great? Will they really stand out in a positive way when they visit/interview (some kids are just really naturally personable) or will they be run of the mill fine? [/quote]
