[quote=Anonymous]OP - I get it, 7th grad is a tough time to feel rejected. Our strategy was to be sure that we talked up what was most likely a safety school and, if you can, talk up your public if that's your safety. We applied to two that we thought would be likely acceptances in addition to the downtown popular schools. DC got shut out of the popular schools, but got into both back ups which was nice b/c DC still felt like there was a choice to be made. Truth be told, DC (and we) in many ways began to really like one of the safeties more than the schools we were supposed to like more before decisions came out. And like one of the above posters, after graduation DC ended up a top college and is doing great there. There are many independents that can prepare a child very, very well in this area for the rest of his/her life in many ways. Just try not to take 7th grade so seriously. . [/quote]
