Not sure that's true. Isnt it a pretty big class size maybe 60 kids? Do you volunteer at your child's current school? If not, you should do that. I think there's a spot on the teacher evaluation that asks about volunteering. Schools are always looking for families that will become involved.[/quote]

Beauvoir likely accepts no more than about 25% of applicants so yes, chances are your child won't get in. He/she MAY but the odds are against it unless you are a sibling, alumni, or faculty family. Even then, they're not great. [b]If you tell a highly selective school that you are only applying there (they ask where else you are applying) they will think you are crazy or lying. [/b]Don't do it. Find at least three that you think would be a good fit, including one that is not so competitive, or be prepared to go public or sit out a year.[/quote]

Not true. We told Sidwell the truth, that if we didn't get in we would do public. And our child was accepted.[/quote]

So did we, with the same result.[/quote]
