[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is somewhat pointless, especially since as percentage of applicants accepted and numbers of applicants,  [b]NCS/St. Albans[/b], Sidwell, and Maret are hardest to get into.  While others are also highly selective, those three are the most selective in the DC area.

Let's not confuse hardest to get into with "best," though.  The best school is the one where your child will thrive the most.   [/quote]

Are there actual figures for this somewhere? I really question whether NCS is still among the most selective. I was recently at an alumni event at which the HOS (who I think ahs been terrible for the school) was crowing about the fact that they have full enrollment. Seriously? You're proud of full enrollment? She said nothing about acceptance rates. The rumor that I've heard from several sources is that they've gone way up, but I would love to see actual numbers.[/quote]

I think Holton and Stone Ridge have gotten much better for people looking at all girls.  NCS doesn't have the pull it once did.  [/quote]

NCS will always have more pull. The NW DC location, the history, the grounds are all incomparable. No amount of abusing NCS on social media like DCUM is going to change that. I say this as somebody with no connection to the place.[/quote]
