[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe a troll - but I'd pay for other two but would not pay for Maret. Value just isn't there - YMMV. GDS is unarguably now clear #2 in area (<10% admit) followed by STA/NCS safe at #3. Sidwell "7%" admit rate is massive overestimate. Take away admissions for children of alumni and politicians, siblings and quakers and it is probably more like a 1% chance for well-qualified but "unhooked" applicants if that. [/quote] STA is actually the hardest admit in the DMV. They also had a 100% yield this year for 9th (not sure about the other grades). Almost all successful applicants (after 4th grade) are "hooked". Sidwell is a bit easier. NCS is much easier than STA. GDS is traditionally easier than the others but this year was really difficult too. [/quote]
