[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks a lot for the advices. I don't know much about schools except those from reading that sidwell has slightly higher percentage of students going to ivy and higher number of national finalists. I understand that numbers can't truly reflect whether a school is better, so I would really appreciate if I could get more information about the two schools from insiders.[/quote]

And two years ago, the opposite was true. GDS had something like 15 semi-finalists in a class of 120.

I vote that you give up your spot at GDS.  If you can't appreciate the school for its excellent academics, you shouldn't go there. But you dd won't get into Sidwell next year, either.

FYI - no dog in this fight. My kids are at Cathedral schools.[/quote]

I agree I am kinda annoyed by this poster.  You friggin' got your kid into a great school, one many posters would kill for, and yet you think it is some kind of poor consolation prize.  GDS admissions clearly made a mistake accepting your family.

And I say this as someone going to a small monetssori school who never applied to gds because of price, so I'm just an objective observer.  GDS is a great school and you don't deserve it!  [/quote]
