Those are great scores. Congrats![/quote]

PP here.  Thank you for the congrats.   He's applying to Sidwell, STA, SJC and Georgetown Prep.  I've been told those scores are good enough for Big 3 but coming from a public I am concerned that just because he CAN get in doesn't mean he should go to a pressure cooker.  He wants to play at least 2 sports.  Any advice?  My spouse thinks we should just send him to Wilson.  [/quote]

I was worried about the same for DD at her new private school but all the odd at those schools play sports and do other extra activities and they are fine.
DD is thriving (at a sister school).
The private schools do a good job at not piling on useless homework (just meaningful homework) so the kids can have lives besides school.

DD scored similarly she is thriving.

I'd cross St Johns off the list - it's more like a public high school.

Prep might be the least pressure cooker but please ask others for a more in depth review[/quote]
