[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]just my personal impression is that the transfer process is difficult because every year 10-15 kids want to go to Sidwell, and since Sidwell cannot accept that many, the kids who do apply are often competing with close friends for a spot.  a know a child several years ago whose three closest friends got into Sidwell and he didn't, which was hard socially for awhile.  but eventually he did fine at STA[/quote]

This is actually not a factual statement. Less than five usually apply to Sidwell from Beauvoir, as Sidwell is not in the top five choices of Beauvoir children. It is a great school but Beauvoir kids mostly apply with their first choice to STA, then NCS, then I would say Maret, then Holton. Most families our years applying out did not even tour Sidwell or apply there and they did not even attend the coffees when Sidwell visited Beauvoir. [/quote]

Both this year and last year more than 10 Beauvoir students applied to Sidwell.  STA and NCS certainly are the destinations of most Beauvoir students, but I don't understand ranking them one after the other given that they are single sex, and I'm also not confident in your conclusions about where others are applying.   They are all great schools, though, with lots of kids interested.  [/quote]

They may have applied but it was not all of their first choice is I think what the point was. [/quote]
