And it goes without saying that you should be Democrats, and preferably ones who do the occasional fundraiser. [/quote]

At Sidwell Friends, being Republican will get you diversity points.[/quote]

DH and I are Dems (tho' not big donors) -- nor are we in high-profile jobs.  We always wondered how our DS got into Sidwell -- now we know -- he's a Republican! (Yes, really he is registered to vote as a Republican, 'tho he is pretty horrified by Mitt, so I think he'll vote for Obama.)[/quote][/quote]Just curious and really irrelevant but did your DS enter as a junior?  If he got into Sidwell under that premise, then he must have been able to vote or close to it when he was admitted.  Or was he just a verbally professed Republican frosh at the time?  Not sure what happened why my post blended with yours.[/quote]

I'm kidding -- like most of the PPs on this thread.  Actually, he came in at 7th and was a Democrat then, but Sidwell turned him into a Republican -- this part I'm not kidding about.

For OP and anyone who is taking this thread seriously, I would say there are so many qualified and appealing kids who apply that it mostly comes down to luck -- that was certainly true with our son.  If you're applying to schools it helps to keep that in mind -- and to remember as well that Sidwell isn't perfect -- it's a good school, but there are many other good schools - public and private -- in this area.
