[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the poster who has said on several threads that Maret is not selective.  Having gone through high school admissions twice now, Maret is considered to be one of the MOST selective schools because of it's small size. Almost everyone I know from both of my children's classes who applied to a Big 3 also applied to Maret. Maret just doesn't have that many spots available to not be selective.

That being said, selective is different from most rigorous.  It is intentionally not like the Big 3 with tons of homework.  I know plenty of parents with kids at a Big 3 who didn't get into Maret (again it's just numbers!) and it was their first choice because of the school's philosophy. I have a kid at a Big 3 who often wonders if Maret would have been better. There are pros/cons of each approach.[/quote]

We applied in K to Maret, Sidwell and BVR. Maret was our least favorite of the 3 and the only one our kid was not accepted at. It seems to me that at least in K it’s the most selective one.[/quote]
