[quote=Anonymous]A few years ago when my son was applying to Sidwell, it definitely felt like a pressure cooker. His shadow guide said that the work was similar to that of a full-time job, but that the education was as advertised as the best and most rigorous in the area. He ended up getting waitlisted and didn't really care as it wasn't his top pick anyway. Seems like a terrific academic institution where the best of the best will thrive but if your student's main focus isn't getting straight As all the time, there are other great schools that might be more well-rounded. Potomac, Maret, and GDS (although the latter two have their quirks) all seemed to have a warmer atmosphere than Sidwell, although you could easily argue that they are all "pressure cookers" especially by public school standards.
