Congratulations! It seemed like a tough year. DD got into Bullis and Holton. WL at her "favorite" schools with no uniforms. She'll deal and we're happy.


Congratulations! Uniforms are amazing--especially for girls. Makes it so much easier in the am.

WL everywhere but two (rejections). Coming from public, A/B student. Used to be a straight A student but never fully recovered from virtual learning depression. Bad day. Congratulations to those with choices.


My heart sank when I read this. One of my children crashed during DCPS virtual learning. Hugs to you And them.

Wow, Holton and Bullis are two drastically different schools!


Not really

Make sure your child follows up with the waitlists to express continued interest.

Waitlisted in all schools. We were strongly considering going to mcps public (from a small private), so the WL in a way decided it for us.

Would have been a financial stretch so we didn’t apply to safer choices. We’ll look to Walls or Jackson Reed. Congrats to everyone else. But disappointing nonetheless.


Wow...sounds like it was a rough day for you guys, but an acceptance to a school doesn't define you, your child or your family. I'm sure your girl is amazing and will shine wherever she ends up...you should plan something fun and special for her this weekend. Sending hugs

DD in at Holton, which was the only private she applied to. 9th grade.

Good luck to everyone with decisions, waitlist movement, etc!

I am sorry your child was disappointed today. WL move and maybe also expand your search. Spots do open.

Location Location Location for us, we live in the suburban wasteland of MC. The WL schools were in DC.
