[quote=Anonymous]You'll know in a month whether you're in or not.  In the meantime, it's pointless to obsess about the process which is already over.  I honestly wonder what goes on behind closed doors and the pool of applicants more than what the admissions staff was like the day you met them.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell's admissions process has always been that way.  It's partially a numbers game, but I honestly think they do not want to get personal with the applicants because they don't want to lead anyone on.  As for continued contact, the admissions staff works on the upper school campus, so students in the lower school are unlikely to have much continued contact in the first 4-5 years.  It's different if you are accepted in middle or upper school.[/quote]

I have certainly over the years read posts from people with a child rejected at another school very upset because they felt they were shoo-ins because the admissions staff seemed SOOOOO enthusiastic and friendly.  Damned if they do, damned if they don't, I'd say.[/quote][/quote]
