[quote=Anonymous]I know at least 2 kids in the last couple of years who chose Sidwell and regretted it. For the right kid it can be great but these kids really struggled with the workload and it was a little demoralizing. Both ended up at very moderate colleges, probably very appropriately, but ones that they surely could have gotten into from a less competitive school, and had a much better time along the way. Agree that it's important to really consider the right fit over prestige. If your DD was accepted on her own merits rather than connections she presumably can do the work so maybe she is one of those where it is the right fit.[/quote]
