[quote=Anonymous]The endowments of D.C. area private schools explains why their focus on pupils entering in the early years are on big donors, money, legacy and non financial aid candidates. When the bills are paid the focus can shift to academic talent. This explains why it is more difficult to enter at the high school level in these schools because you had better be top notch (grades, accomplishments etc). Its a matter of dollars and cents. Therefore, for entry places in Sidwell, Maret, STA, GDS, Beauvoir and the like legacy, sibling, big donor, and money will always trump brains in need of financial assistance until the bills are paid.[/quote]
