[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I am doing it wrong but I am not finding it to be that bad. We are only applying to a couple schools because unless we are really excited about a school, it is not worth the money and hassle of sending our kid to private. And our kids are in public now and doing great so we are comfortable keeping them there if they don;t get into a private. In my mind that is what makes this less stressful than the impending college application process - we have a solid fallback option of a public high school. [/quote]

Yes if you are happy with your public high school the 9th grade application process is a “let’s see what happens” type of thing. For those of us for whom public high school is not an option, the process is a smidge more stressful.

We feel good about our list of schools and based on what we know think they are a good match for DC, but there’s a lot of work involved, we won’t have admissions answers until March, and there’s no way to be sure you are picking the best fit for your kid because there are a million variables/unknowns. So we are doing our best to ask questions and take in as many data points as possible. May need to do a second round of visits after acceptance.  [/quote]
