[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret will love an outstanding athlete, in recent years they have really sought out athletes to beef up their saleability to other athletes.  Other than that I believe that Maret is much more academically competitive than you are thinking and I don't think they are much in the business of "meeting kids where they are."  Generally speaking mostly B's and a few A's are not going to go that far at Maret admissions unless your applicant has a really outstanding non-academic hook.  I would advise your friends to look at Bullis.  [/quote]

Maret is fairly competitive in admissions so I agree that the "mostly Bs and a few As" may not be enough.  I do think the atmosphere is a bit more laid back than some of the other in-town schools.  Regarding the sports, it is certainly worth highlighting at any school; for Maret in particular, their recruiting has very much focused on boys' sports (basketball, baseball, some football).  The only girls' sport where they seem to push for athletes is basketball, so it may depend upon what your friend's daughter plays.

In terms of additional schools, I hear nice things about St. Andrews (this is the one in Potomac, not the DE Boarding School) and it sounds like it would fit your criteria.[/quote]
