[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever is happening at W schools is not relevant to what we are trying to share to current Sidwell/GDS parents based on recent experiences. OP is asking about GDS/Sidwell.[/quote]
Of course it's relevant, because you're making it sound like Sidwell and GDS have the only legacies in the DC area applying to selective colleges and that it's somehow a magic bullet for admission. There are way more legacies applying to the same schools from public schools. Even with potentially improved odds, most legacies still aren't getting in, whether they're applying from public or private.[/quote]
DP but incredible, isn't it? People just cannot stop measuring up/comparing themselves to the Ws and MCPS.  They just cannot stop it. It's  measuring stick that every school, publics or privates, tries to measure up to. 
Even this thread that has nothing to do with MCPS,  y'all bring MCPS into it.[/quote]
Fine, replace MCPS with "all public schools in this country" and my point still remains.[/quote]
