[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not get into HRCS and am very bitter about it.

I went to 30 open houses in DC, read every post written about each school, stayed on DCUM 18 hours a day in case something interesting about the schools were discussed and got a Spanish and Mandarin tutor for my child - just in case.

And I didn't get in. How is it possible? I did everything I could and still... nothing.

So, now I will have to send my DC to LRCS. I am very concerned about my high-IQ kid getting so bored that he loses all interest in education and grows up wanting to backpack Europe for life instead of going to an Ivy.

Poor me.[/quote]

I am the person who got in up/thread. Sorry you didn't. However, given all your research, could you share everything you love about the school? I applied in a whim and know nothing about it. TIA.[/quote]

NP, but I am SO SICK of people getting into HRCS and other good schools who have done no research and then coming here to gloat and ask for info. Ok, here is my feedback - HRCS is awful and not a place for kids to thrive. It is also in a dangerous neighborhood. I would never send my child there, and neither should you. Much better to send your snowflake to a private school.[/quote]

Oh!!  Well, wow....  That kind of changes things, doesn't it?  In that case, I'm calling HRCS tomorrow and giving up my spot.  If DCUM tells me it's no good, it must be no good!  Dammit, why didn't someone tell me this before we did not apply??[/quote]
