[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of stories like ours that you can tell your kid. My mom always says that getting rejected (well, wait-listed) by Sidwell was the best thing that ever happened to DC. Pouring oil on the flames, Sidwell also took DC's extremely well-connected friend. DC did get into a cathedral school but we opted for a public magnet instead. The rejection lit a fire under DC like nobody's business, plus DC found something they were really excited about and DC excelled at a national level at this thing. Your kid will need to find that spark/flame, for sure. DC ended up at a very top USNWR university, which was the best college outcome (at least on paper) from among all their circle of elementary private school friends. [/quote]
