[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread seems to be primarily about GDS.[b] Is Sidwell similar [/b]or STA/NCS?

Also, how does GDS address the needs of families who are seeking need based and merit aid? Do they allow those families to apply more broadly?  DC is on considerable FA at another school and I would not be ok if DC had to limit options for matching with a school with adequate funding because of arbitrary school rules.[/quote]

Sidwell has no limit but the other CCO issues are similar (plus some!) to the GDS complaints.[/quote]

Sidwell '22 parent here.  To name just one stellar example, 20 kids chose Brown as their ED.  Which everyone figured out only after the deadline, by talking to each other.  Obviously a CC can't say, J'im are you _sure_ about Brown? Because I need to tell you that Susan and Peter are also ED'ing Brown, and Susan's mother is a double legacy there, and Susan has a hidden disability that she's overcome, and Peter's parents are donating $500k this year.

But. An excellent and strategic CC can get across the same point, which is, Jim think about your 1b for ED, because Brown is a reaaaaaallllllll long shot, probably.

Same at GDS this year. Is it always Brown?[/quote]
