Differences in facilities and staff/ teacher salaries generally accounts for the difference. You can look up any of their 990s and get a sense of their finances.

I received their confirmation email right after I hit sent. Check your emails / spam on the day you sent in your application. Mine is time stamped on the day I applied.

Did you get that email from Lab? I’ve gotten nothing from them.

Most schools contact you in feb to schedule an interview/class visit/playdate if they have one (depending on your child’s age). I think we had visits/ school observations in February/early March and got our acceptance letters by Mid-late March?

We’ve applied to a couple of schools - radio silence. How quickly did others get some sort of communication from the schools you applied to?

You applied in early January--you mean like 2 weeks ago?

If memory serves, we started hearing back from schools in March. They get a lot of applications. Pace yourself.

Lab seems to be on the same schedule as typical DC private schools, with applications being due on the 15th (last week). I think some of the other SN schools have rolling admissions, which may explain why you already heard from them. Good luck!
