[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Has anyone had a _bad_ experience with the admissions process at Madeira?

DD is still leaning towards Madeira. We will go to campus visits and confirm before accepting, but it’s looking like that’s the choice.

Parent of a current freshman here.  We have no regrets.  It is a rigorous school (and elite enough to get T-10 admits for college).  They may not get as many into HPYS as some of the other schools but they get enough.

It is also a school on the upswing with significant investments in STEM happening (new science block).  The new HOS is very energetic and invested in bringing change.  They just announced a new senior staff position to look at pedagogy as well.  There is increased interest in private options in Northern Virginia and the candidate pool in the school’s catchment area is becoming stronger and stronger.  I believe that the school will only be enhancing its reputation over the next few years.

OP - I can’t speak to the other schools but i can say that our DD has strongly benefited from being in a girls only school.  So there’s that.

Good luck![/quote]

As the parent of an admitted girl with decision day approaching, I can’t tell you how great this is to hear. Now if I can just get used to the idea of screaming "go snails" without snickering we will be all set. [/quote]
