[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of these schools still advertise in the spring which means if your child meets their admission standards and you have the money to pay, they'll take you.  [/quote]

They still advertise in the spring because that's when families who have been admitted are doing their final decisions about which school they will choose. Additionally, it's a time of the year families are commonly considering what their options will be for next year and if they're considering going private, they want to start doing their research so they can schedule fall tours. Many of the private schools in Baltimore do some level of advertising year round. I don't think I've ever picked up a Baltimore's Child that didn't have private school ads in it. It doesn't mean they are taking all comers. It means they have decided that low level marketing year round is a cost effective choice for them, with additional efforts during application and admission periods.

I've lived in other areas of the country with similar patterns. I wasn't as well acquainted with their private schools, but their reputations didn't generally appear to be taking all comers either.[/quote]
