[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Apply early and often!" This pretty much sums it up. We and at least 2 other families we know from our WOTP DCPS applied several times to private, beginning in 6th grade. This is despite the kids having all As, travel sports, etc. it's just a numbers games. As a previous posted there are often only 2-3 spots in admissions years prior to 9th grade (once all the priority candidates-siblings, legacies, minorities, VIPs) are admitted. [b]What is cool (and something I would never share in real life) is that my DCPS kid (who we applied multiple times) is now in the top 10% of a Big3 class and is applying to Ivies (on the encouragement/advice of the college counseling office as supported by their data). meanwhile a number of kids the school took in instead of my kid are no longer at the school.[/b] Part of me is like "see! We knew this kid was a good fit!" 🤪[/quote] yuck[/quote]
