Oh really?

[quote=Anonymous]Had one kid at a big-3 and 2nd kid was rejected.  Years later, 2nd kid accepted for 9th and enrolled.  Still, the sting of that earlier rejection -- spouse and I never got over it. Forever changed our view of the school even after 2nd kid accepted and enrolled there.  [b]Never felt the same sense of loyalty nor desire to donate again.[/b][/quote]

No desire to donate, no loyalty to the school educating their older and later on both children.

Selfish.

Fact is, kids are different, and schools have different strengths and personalities. They know how certain kids may thrive in one environment and whither in another. Why would that PP want their younger kid in an environment that won't breed success for them? Just because it will be more convenient for their daily routine? Not fair to the kid.

I know plenty of families who have their kids at many different "top" schools: GDS, Sidwell, Cathedral, STA, Landon etc. Their kids are in the right places for them, eventhough it is more difficult to manage schedules for the parents.[/quote]

None of your business though, really. [/quote]
