[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So based on this thread odds aren’t that good but, I am getting mixed messages on hooks. I get a feeling Sidwell is looking for exceptional children. Exceptional doesn’t just apply to academics but, attributes they feel they can further develop. 40 slots is not a lot and I can only assume 15 will be taken up by donors, quakers, and VIPs off the bat. [/quote] There aren't outside donors. Any Siblings are usually already applied and in the school as are Quakers. That is what usually takes lower school slots. The Upper School slots are generally for kids who are both students who thrive on academic rigor as well as have other attributes that would contribute to the school community - arts, theater, athletics, whatever.[/quote]
