[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've known a couple of families that had to apply multiple times before a sibling is accepted at Sidwell. This was for LS. GDS has a good policy. I believe Maret does as well.[/quote] It depends on who else is applying. In middle school when there are only 10-12 spots in a grade they're going to postpone a sibling admit to a later point if there is a chance at a top athlete or a top minority or a top donor... They know the sibling will reapply but they'll only get one shot at these other families. Plus they want to expand the student body. If they only admit kids from current families then their donor base shrinks. I've seen most schools defer siblings to another admission year (STA, Sidwell, Maret, etc). [/quote]
