[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know - there's also a lens on the OP's (admittedly sloppy) post that suggests they are a URM family trying to understand the landscape on the chances their kid would be accepted, get funding, and thrive...(especially because they seem to care whether admissions staff is diverse)

I'll answer the commute question - we have an older child - we are not supposed to drive our child to school in the AM unless we have a carpool where we bring another family's child with us. Afternoon is not an issue for arriving as a solo family for pick-up.  Our DC takes the bus but we know of other families that do not - and probably fudge by dropping their child "somewhere else near campus". [b]I can't speak to the penalty or how may families are "cheating" on carpool rules.[/quote][/b]
Is this why people drop off on WI? 
SO they don't get caught cheating on carpool rules?[/quote]

Someone needs to get Frumin involved in this clear breach of the agreement made with the neighborhood. So selfish and entitled.[/quote]

GDS has a great inexpensive bus system ($2/morning); I don't think people regularly flaunt the drop off rules.[/quote]

Tell me more about the bus system. Where does it stop/cover?[/quote]

GDS has a great bus system. They have 30+ stops into DC, MD and VA; I can't figure out how to link the bus stop map here, but i'm sure admissions would give it to you if asked. They only charge you for the specific date and time (morning and/or afternoon) your child rides so it's very flexible ($2/am; $6/pm). The morning busses arrive to school by 8am (since LS/MS starts then). HS kids hang out in the forum/library until school starts at 8:45am. The buses leave school around 3:30-3:40pm. They do not have a later post athletics bus. [/quote]

New GDS HS family and did not realize this. [/quote]
