[quote=Anonymous]Each of my kids started at Potomac in 9th grade. None were competitive athletes. We are from NOVA. Each kid had unique interests and backgrounds not cookie cutter. I think they are just really looking for interesting kids with intellectual curiosity who show promise in making an impact on their community. We didn’t know anyone at the school before applying and attending. We are full pay but I  don’t think that had anything to do with admission as I know a lot of full pay applicants now who didn’t get in, including siblings of current students. So I really think they take a holistic approach. There are a very small number of slots. I think it was around 20 each year and an equal number of girls and boys. My kids didn’t know anyone going there but it is such a fantastic community and they were warmly embraced. I can’t say enough about how much the teachers and faculty support the students. I say all of this to encourage anyone looking to apply to take their shot. I truly don’t believe there is a formula, much like the college admissions process these days. It’s been a wonderful experience for our family.[/quote]
