[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From experience I would recommend 4 or 5 with one of those being an obvious back-up (e.g Bullis, St Johns, St Andrews, or Burke) dependent on what your child's primary extra-curricular focus is (sports or arts). [/quote] Your experience is dated. None of the back-up schools are true back-ups. It is Damn hard to get into any private school since now Arlington, Fairfax and MoCo kids go to private schools in DC too. [/quote] No, its not. I have middle school and high school aged kids. Have been through application process recently. You are wrong. If your kid has top grades and solid test scores certain schools are definitely back ups. For kids who are strong enough to get into the top privates like STA/NCS, Sidwell, Potomac, and Maret, these other schools are back-ups. [/quote]
