[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't understand the GDS obsession with Sidwell and the idea that this campus changes its competitive position. Even after the construction, several other schools will rommier, greener campuses. STA, NCS, Beauvoir, Sidwell, Field, St. pat's, Maret. Each of these schools has more room per student than GDS[/quote]

Please cite examples of the obsession  [/quote]

You scan through this thread yourself but the two major themes are, possibly I guess from one poster, is that GDS will have a competitive advantage over Sidwell with a consolidated campus and, oddly, if it weren't for the campus the First family would be attending GDS now. [/quote]

I should've used facts.  Posts in a thread are not facts.  Who knows who've made them.  [/quote]

fact: GDS has a high percentage of families in every grade that applied to Sidwell but didn't get in. Hence the rivalry[/quote]

I'm not Sidwell sees the same 'rivalry'.[/quote]

These statements baffle me.  I have two DCs, both @ GDS.  One got into Sidwell, other didn't.  Ended up with both @ GDS.  I am not filled with rancor about how one "didn't get in."  The school seems to be a rival in the similar vein that the closest HS to my HS alma mater was.  Would even be willing to wager that the folks posting many of these comments don't have DCs @ either school.  [/quote]
