[quote=Anonymous]It's schizophrenic. Jocky suburban vs. nerdy urban (with Potomac partaking a bit of each). Very different school cultures. One think you might want to do is check and see whether the grade you will be applying for is an entry year at these schools. Apply regardless (there are often a few spots due to attrition and out-of-towners seem to be favored in those cases), but that info has implications for whether you need a back-up plan. If so, consider public, even if only temporarily. In the long run, there's no shortage of spots in good privates here (just certain crunch years like PreK/K). So why settle (perhaps permanently) for average when if you look at admissions as a 2 year process, you'll probably get what you want? And you (and your son) will be in a position to make a better judgment about what that is once you're in the area.[/quote]
