[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be aware that it is much harder to get into Maret than GDS. Plan accordingly. [/quote]

However, you should also consider that the applicant pools for GDS and Maret are differentiated to a certain degree.[/quote]

A real-world example from the collegiate process illustrates the point.  Dickinson College is a lot smaller than Harvard and Yale, so admits it fewer applicants.  So superficially Dickinson appears much harder to get into than Harvard and Yale.  However, it's obviously not.[/quote]

How does that example highlight a differentiated applicant pool?  it highlights small and selective but that's it. so maret is small and thus selecting based on filling unique holes in a class, and GDS is larger (but still small) and is selecting based on filling holes in a class.

Is the PPP saying that the applicant pool for GDS intermediate/upper school are different than that of Maret?  How so? More homogenous, less, from different neighborhoods, sporty or arty, what?[/quote]
