[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowell has had bad results this year so far. Just objectively bad. One kid got in everywhere so the school will say they got kids into Sidwell, Maret, GDS but it’s all one kid. There were maybe 2 more in at GDS, 1 more in at Sidwell, and the rest of the class on the waitlist or just rejected. Some kids got in literally nowhere. Not good.[/quote]

[b]Three kids in at GDS, 2 at Sidwell, and 1 at Maret is pretty standard for a small grade.  A couple more would be a great year.  Kids who applied to those three and didn’t get in anywhere is not surprising.  Not getting in anywhere and also throwing in a few more schools (Burke, Field, SAES, St. John’s) without any red flags or the need of large amounts of financial aid would be strange.  I think one of the issues is that so many kids from Lowell want the same schools (GDS, Maret) and have less interest in a wider schools like Holton but also Burke which used to be a bigger draw for Lowell and now Sandy Spring seems risky.[/b]

Sheridan getting 10 kids into GDS last year is a lot.  If that kept up it may say more about how confident GDS feels about how the kids from Sheridan are prepared and that they are more likely to come to the school due to proximity and fit.  Otherwise, it may have just been a strong class.[/quote]
