[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you can pay the full tuition, you'll get it.  every school is looking for full pay families and don't think beauvoir is more exclusive than that.  if you can pay, your kid will get in.[/quote]
Imagine thinking that being full-pay, without more, is enough to get into the most selective private schools around here.[/quote]

Agreed. You need connections, hooks. [/quote]

No, actually, you don't. As these selective schools creep up in price, and DCPS gets better and more acceptable to a broader spectrum of families, all of these schools - particularly at the elementary level -  are becoming more, shall we say, "welcoming," to those who can pay full freight.[/quote]

That’s the opposite of what I’m hearing from those well connected in the top schools and admissions staff. It’s been getting more and more competitive the past 3 years. Full pay, sibling and other connections are not what they used to be. Seems like top schools get their pick from the best of the best (whatever they perceive that to be).[/quote]

For 9th grade admissions, that may be true. For PK and K, it's a different story.[/quote]

if you want sources for this, contact aisgw or nais.

I didn’t look into PK or K, but I think it’s true for other entry years too at the top schools.[/quote]

elementary applications are down while middle school and high school are up. [/quote]

Source?

Given how competitive these schools are, how much money there is in dc, and how many families want private ultimately, there’s a lot of perceived pressure that you have to get your kid into the private system early or face the risk of not getting in later. [/quote]

aisgw has this data. [/quote]
