I don't think Beauvoir is that hard (especially if you're coming from NCRC or St. John's). I think Sidwell and Maret are tougher.

Who cares? Exclusive does not equal quality.

And what is the purpose of this question? Trying to conclude something about your self-worth OP?

Are you speaking from experience? If so, could you provide additional feedback on the lower/middle school experience? TIA.

Oh, well, because you were told this, clearly that makes it fact.

I have to admit that I'm not up on charters, but I thought that most (all?) used a lottery to admit students. If that's the case, it's not a question of difficulty; it's just a question of your odds.

You have no point of reference, which makes that ratio by itself meaningless.

For example, our school had 16 applications for each K spot. I don't know if that makes it the *most* difficult school to get into, but I do know that it is apparently a higher applicant/spot ratio than Beauvoir.

I was assuming that Sidwell and Maret were getting 20-30 applications for each spot, but maybe I was overestimating demand.

Maret

I think Sidwell.

Beauvoir. I was told they have well over 200 apps for 20 spots.

Sidwell and Beauvoir
