[quote=Anonymous]No one is saying that these schools are competitive because our kids were admitted--quite the opposite--our kids wer not admitted. Listen, last year my kid applied to GDS for high from Alice Deal. he personally knew 20+ kids from Deal who also applied. none of those 20 friends were admitted. My kid had straight As through middle school, took Algebra 2 in 8th grade, had numerous leadership roles at school, did middle school debate at a national level and played 5 years of a travel sport. And he wasn't admitted and many of his friends who were as impressive or more so were not admitted either. And this is just one middle school out of dozens in the DMV. I was casually tracking the number of 9th interview slots that GDS filled last year (In Ravenna) and it's was 400+ . there were a phenomenal number of kids who applied. they interviewed kids at 20 per week for 20 weeks. Easily. it was all there in Ravenna for anyone who applied to see. [/quote]
