[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]As a parent of a rising 9th grader, I would be devastated if she doesn't get her first choice in the college admission process. She is smart enough to ALWAYS get her first choice so it won't be a stretch for her advisor. I am glad the school made the change now. They still have three years to make sure all the money we invested will send her on the way to her dreams.  [/b][/quote]

^ You're being facetious, right?  (Sometimes it's hard to tell on the internet :D ).[/quote]

You know what's funny?  As a Sidwell parent with one grad and one child still in the US, I can no longer tell if this is a troll or not.  This actually sounds like conversations I've had with SFS parents.  [/quote]

Of course, it is true. We have been given tons of money to the school, we deserve outstanding service. [/quote]

So then do you believe the flip side: kids who go to public school don't deserve to get into their first choice schools? Is the money all that matters?[/quote]

DP. Everyone deserves a fair chance but let’s be honest, it is much more difficult to get good grades at schools like Sidwell, STA, and NCS then it is the public schools. We have friends in all of the schools and the public school kids are not doing 3 hours per night of work and the level and intensity is much more difficult at top privates. [/quote]
