Alumni kids 1st
Athletes 
Catholic school kids from each and every 52 lower schools
Others who are outstanding who would beat out the other 3 in any other place and even some of those kids won’t get in

It’s not about being the best it’s about who you know, being and athlete or being positioned well from a Catholic school,

How do parents have this insider information?[/quote]

If you have lived in this area for any amount of time, you learn how the system works.[/quote]

I wouldn't say it's even close to "insider" information. It's information that people new to the area and/or new to the DC private school world are unlikely to have.

Those who are from here or have lived here for a significant period know a lot of it. They get it by experience and osmosis.

I feel sorry for people coming to this forum to learn. They need to find someone or multiple people they trust to learn about these schools and who sends their kids to them and why.[/quote]

Yeah, our kids go to a Catholic k-8 and in our time in the dc area, we have lived in a few neighborhoods with Catholic high school. Our knowledge about the process is gleaned from our own school and neighbors, friends, acquaintances, and coworkers with first hand experience with the process whether as part of the process or who has kids or relatives gone through the application process.
