[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its always going to be the rich and connected that get into the "Big 3" anyway, so no surprise. Being neither of those, we focused on other schools.[/quote] Not really. Mostly the kids from our K-8 who got into 9th grade were top athletes or URMs[/quote] That's because those are the only kids the new school will be able to place well into college. They are looking for kids that they can get into top colleges. [/quote] There’s a lot of truth in this statement. I would add that super scholars also make the cutoff, even if they’re white straight males. That describes my DS and his handful of friends who came in at 9th to Sidwell, and it was a good risk for Sidwell. These unhooked young men all attend T15 schools now on their academic strength. Which is > average smart DC lawyer’s kid smart. [/quote] Yuck! It is people like you who ruin the DMV. [/quote]
