[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac is a very good school but (word of mouth about) outplacements suggests it does not compete with STA/NCS or Sidwell or GDS. If there are hard facts about outplacements from Potomac that anyone knows, please post. Holton, same deal. Excellent school, but not quite on par with NCS[/quote]

Not true. Holton has excellent outplacement. Honestly, after looking at both schools and their list one year I think they are pretty equal. NCS tends to be more competitive because of the DC location and their affiliation with STA.  DC residents and those working in DC are set on DC privates, but folks in MoCo and No VA have much better public options, but every year they have PLENTY of strong applicants and manage to maintain a far more diverse group of girls than NCS. However, they are both excellent schools and I would be happy with my DD attending either one. [/quote]
