[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child applied and is hoping to get in for 9th. Coming from a K-8. Is it impossible if you are not a sibling, athletic recruit, or academic prodigy? Our child is a strong student and well-rounded but not sure if a normal good student would stand out. For those with experience, what has the outplacement been like from your K-8 schools. Were only the tippy top students admitted or were there some surprises?[/quote] “Impossible” is a very strong word. Potomac is a difficult admit every year for any grade. There are many more 8th graders graduating from the set of K-8 schools than openings at the set of privates which offer 9th grade. So a 9th grade admit always will be tough.[/quote] Close to impossible for sure. Unless you’re very influential or have someone in your corner with influence, you’re pretty much sol.[/quote]
