[quote=Anonymous]There was a time in the past, but not in recent years, where CDS in McLean was a bit of a feeder. This was when someone else (who is now gone from Potomac) was at Potomac’s Admissions Office. The current mantra from Potomac Admissions for K/1 admissions is geographic diversity. Potomac thinks having more students from DC and MD will boost its overall reputation. So a VA applicant, especially if from McLean, Great Falls, or N. Arlington, sometimes can be at an admission disadvantage for Potomac School over someone from Bethesda or NW DC. Just as at Sidwell, Cathedral, GDS, or other good privates, connections really can help one’s admissions chances if handled diplomatically. For K, it is nearly impossible to evaluate the child, so the parents need to be on their very best behavior. [/quote]
