[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am not one of the posters confusing the difference between rates.  I have understood that because GDS has a bigger class than other top schools , it is slightly easier to be admitted (rather than GDS having a proportionately larger applicant pool and admitting at the same rate).  So I was surprised that they would cite the same admit rate as Maret.  [/quote]

I think you are correct. I Think the odds for high school are better than 1 in 8, especially since GDS is not everyone’s cup of tea. [/quote]

Might not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people out there really like that tea. I'm a parent of two kids in the upper grades of a top D.C.K-8 independent, and have been hounding 8th grade parents for the past few years about high school admissions.  GDS is at the top of most parents' list, if they are staying with independents.  And if it's up to the kids, it seems unanimous for GDS.

By the time you get to ninth grade admissions, the student has a bigger say and a school that very obviously treats students as full partners in their own education is very attractive.  I hear only about GDS from my own two kids whenever high school is brought up.  I am constantly dampening expectations though. And there certainly are a range of great options. [/quote]
