[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many of the 4.0 kids who did get offered an interview and end up being offered a spot at SWW will turn it down because the families suspect their kid will not be part of a cohort that is actually motivated, prepared and achieving. Deal and Hardy kids might prefer to take their chances at Jackson Reed...which will be great for the waitlist, I guess. [/quote] I'm a parent in the situation above and I can tell you that what I'm reading on DCUM and whether SWW will have a "motivated cohort" is NOT part of our family's decision making. What is part of our calculation is whether my child will thrive in a smaller environment like SWW (compared to JR), whether extracurriculars will be more easily accessed at a smaller school, commute times, etc. I realize we're fortunate to have options, but I'm really focused on what's best for my kid, not hypothesizing about the cohort that will be admitted.[/quote] Does your child care whether they have friends also attending SWW? Do they make friends and adapt to new situations easily? Best of luck to your child. [/quote]
