[quote=Anonymous]This I know to be true about Maret (verrry small school) and GDS -- if your sibling/faculty applicant is a fine and excellent candidate, the school has been know in the past to tell you during admissions season, "Look, it can't happen this year. Probably __ grade. Keep Ian in his preschool another year / DCPS for prek & K. We just don't have the room, but we will." For GDS, that often means "come in at K." For Maret, it has meant after K. So in fact, these families with excellent candidate-not SN kids are being told "no," just as some PPs say. But they're not being told "never," they're being told "2nd grade, okay?" It sounds nuanced but there's a big difference IMO. and FWIW, a few years ago Sidwell told our family point blank, You should really wait until 4th.[/quote]
