[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS may have surpassed Sidwell by now.  [/quote]

The above is a troll. Once again someone pretending to be obnoxious GDS parent.   NO real GDS parent would say that.   And as a real GDS parent I can say it's very hard to get into Sidwell.  Last year a friend of mine's daughter got into Sidwell but not GDS for 9th but another girl got into Maret and GDS but not Sidwell.  Both were outstanding applicants.  There is no rhyme or reason.

All of the highly academic, less sport driven schools: Holton, GDS, Maret, Cathedral schools, Potomac are very competitive for 9th.  Unless you are hooked or an athlete in a sport the school cares about Tennis at Holton, Track and Field at GDS for example you are out of luck.  [/quote]

There are definitely 3 schools you listed above who require students take a team sport 1 or 2 seasons of each year. The main non sports school lets its students skip Pe and do Yoga stretching instead; and definitely no sports team EC requirement. [/quote]
