[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lower grades. Almost impossible at 9th.[/quote]

K is easiest as it all new kids.[/quote]

actually, the other way around. 9th probably easiest because its more or less new kids to the school. K is a lot of siblings, legacy, VIP, strong hooks.[/quote]

You don't think it's the same in 9th? Many siblings, legacy, VIP every 9th grade year plus academic and sports super stars.[/quote]

A lot more siblings coming into K than 9th.  They're all pretty hard years, but K is near impossible now.  7th and 9th probably the two easiest for outsiders[/quote]

4th is the easiest. Most people do not want to move kids in elementary school. A lot of Potomac parents wait until 7th and 9th. K lets in a lot of kids but at least 3/4 are not siblings so worth a try and then 4th  and then 7th and of course 9th.[/quote]

This plus another good entry year is 6th grade. They add at least 8 kids, sometimes more. Lots of kids applying out of public school elementary schools but not yet the competition from k-8, so less applicants[/quote]

6th is rather difficult. They had near 100 applicants this year for 6 spots [/quote]
I believe there were 8 spots? I am not sure how many 7th grade spots there actually were (unsure if anyone is not returning from current  6th grade), but there were over 150 applications for 7th this year.[/quote]
