[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting,OP. Here's what I think, imho: reputation, including perceived exclusivity, helps with yield on 1st round admit roster. Since the Clinton's chose Sidwell over Cathedral in the 90's Sidwell has made a fortune off of that perceived exclusivity both in terms of what families are willing to donate , and just the haul from thousands of applicatios. Sidwell has spent this money in a lot of ways : 100 million on new MS and US gym, for example. What Sidwell cannot afford is too lose that "exclusive" rep by having it said, over and over all around town, "oh, yeah, DC got into Sidwell, but we turned them down for X school." Sidwell hates to loose a family and when it has happened they have stepped up their intel efforts. They are protecting their rep, imho.[/quote] Very goofy. I had written a long explanatory post refuting this one, but it gives it too much credit. I'm just gonna stick with "very goofy."[/quote]
