[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was your child's ISEE or SSAT % if your child was accepted to GDS or Maret? I'm trying to get a feel for if we are at all qualified. We're worried about our son's score and wondering if we should scrap the applications. We hate to have him visit and get his hopes up if he will be out of the running. [/quote]

It pains me every time I read a post like this. As a parent with a child in a private school for many years now, trust me, the test score is NOT the decider. Atleast, not at the vast majority of private schools. Are you full pay ? Do you have a high profile in DC? Might the development team at the school consider your family an asset ? If so, your child's score does not matter even if they have an LD.

The question isn't what score . The question is can you pay 40K a year plus donate about 10K a year/ per enrolled child  to the annual fund?

If your child gets rejected, please , please do not think it was because other  kids were so much smarter or better in some way. Do NOT think that ! At 99% of schools , it does not matter what score a kid gets. I can ony think of one or two that will say "no" for academic reasons  because they reallly  don't need your or anyone's money. ( huge endowment and ability to keep it that way) [/quote]

And you want to send your child to a private school like this because???[/quote]
